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: As a new non-factor therapy for hemophilia A (HA), real-world study of emicizumab is still scarce. This study aimed to investigate the real-world use of emicizumab in Chinese boys with HA. Methods: Patients with moderate or severe HA were enrolled at Beijing Children's Hospital. They take emicizumab weekly (3 mg/kg) for a month and then went into a maintenance period with a different dosing regimen. After obtaining platelet-poor plasma at end of the loading period and during the maintenance period, coagulation ability and FVIII inhibitor were determined using human and bovine chromogenic Bethesda assay. Patients' bleeding rates were calculated through patients' records from 24 weeks before to at least 6 months after the switch (to emicizumab). Result: In total, 13 pediatric patients with HA (severe: moderate = 11:2) were enrolled in this study. The patients' age was 3.51 (0.73-6.65) years. Eight had FVIII inhibitors at enrollment and one of them developed FVIII inhibitors again during the switch. The coagulation level of the maintenance period was 19.6 (13.5-32.8) IU/dL ( Conclusion: Emicizumab could reduce bleeds in pediatric patients with/without FVIII inhibitors and eliminate target joints.
