Treatment of sickle cell disease - options and perspective.
Review in American journal of blood research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most inherited hematologic diseases affecting humans. Clinically, there is a progressive multiorgan failure and increased mortality in severe cases. The highest prevalence is in West Africa, India, the Mediterranean region, and Middle East countries. Hydroxyurea was the primary drug available for SCD and remains first-line therapy for patients with SCD. Three additional drug therapies, L-glutamine, Voxelotor, and Crizanlizumab, have been approved as adjunctive agents. However, none of these treatments are curative. Effective cell-based therapies are available, such as red blood cell (RBC) exchange and the only curative therapy is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Gene-editing now shows promise in treating SCD and the β-thalassemias. Recent clinical trials have proven that this therapeutic strategy is effective, however costly. Despite the availability of safe and effective drug treatments, questions focusing on the overall value of these drugs exist in light of rising healthcare costs including hospitalizations and medical interventions. Herein, we report a cost-effective evaluation that can guide future efforts in making decisions towards HSCT as cell therapy treatment in SCD patients.
