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

abstractIt has been known for over half a century that throughout ontogeny, humans produce different forms of hemoglobin, a tetramer of α- and β-like hemoglobin chains. The switch from fetal to adult hemoglobin occurs around the time of birth when erythropoiesis shifts from the fetal liver to the bone marrow. Naturally, diseases caused by defective adult β-globin genes, such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia, manifest themselves as the production of fetal hemoglobin fades. Reversal of this developmental switch has been a major goal to treat these diseases and has been a driving force to understand its underlying molecular biology. Several review articles have illustrated the long and at times arduous paths that led to the discovery of the first transcriptional regulators involved in this process. Here, we survey recent developments spurred by the discovery of CRISPR tools that enabled for the first time high-throughput genetic screens for new molecules that impact the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch. Numerous opportunities for therapeutic intervention have thus come to light, offering hope for effective pharmacologic intervention for patients for whom gene therapy is out of reach.
