1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background The primary factor associated with fatality in thalassemia patients is heavy cardiac complications. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is accepted as the non-invasive modality of choice for diagnosing iron overload in the liver. This study aimed to correlate liver iron concentration (LIC) and myocardium iron concentration (MIC) determined by MRI and clinical and biochemical parameters in non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) patients. Methodology This prospective study was conducted in the radiology department from October 2016 to September 2018. A total of 30 patients were included. Using Siemens MAGNETOM
