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

We present a 57-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and no other known comorbidities. HbA1c measurement by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gave unquantified results and a supernumerary peak was detected on the chromatogram. A thorough exploration of the hemoglobin profile showed the presence of an unclassified variant. Alkaline pH capillary electrophoresis revealed the presence of an abnormal peak migrating at zone 11, comprising 40.1% of total hemoglobin. An abnormal band migrating between hemoglobin A and hemoglobin F was observed by acid gel electrophoresis. Sequencing of the β-globin gene confirmed the presence of a rare hemoglobin variant, hemoglobin J-Guantanamo (HBB:c.386C>A) in the heterozygous state, which was for the first time documented in Morocco. Through this report, we emphasize the importance of careful analysis of the HPLC chromatogram for the detection of possible hemoglobin variants in HbA1c measurement.
