Hemoglobin H Disease and Growth: A Comparative Study of DHbH and NDHbH Patients.
Article in Mediterranean journal of hematology and infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Hemoglobin H disease Objectives: This retrospective study assessed the growth of HbH patients at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. Methods: Patients diagnosed with HbH between January 2005 and April 2021 were analyzed using growth standard scores of the Thai Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (2022 version) and BMI-for-age Z scores of the World Health Organization. Growth failure was defined as a patient's height for age exceeding two standard deviations below the mean. Results: Of the 145 HbH patients, 75 Conclusions: NDHbH patients exhibited lower hemoglobin levels and more pronounced splenomegaly than DHbH patients. Growth failure can occur in both HbH types but appears more prevalent in NDHbH. Close monitoring of growth velocity is essential, and early treatment interventions may be required to prevent growth failure.
