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

A 57-year-old gentleman presented to the hospital with progressive fatigue and dyspnea on exertion three months after recovering from COVID-19. He was noted to have severe anemia with reticulocytopenia. After excluding vitamin deficiencies and heavy metal toxicities, a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy were performed, which showed erythroid predominant trilineage maturing hematopoiesis with 79% ring sideroblasts and no dysplasia. SF3B1 mutation was negative. He was diagnosed with sideroblastic anemia and became transfusion-dependent. He was treated with an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent and luspatercept with transient improvement in anemia. After 12 months of treatment, anemia spontaneously improved. Repeat bone marrow biopsy showed hypercellular marrow with 39% ringed sideroblasts. We suspect that this possibly was a delayed manifestation of COVID-19 infection.
