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: Soluble forms of progenitor cell receptors may be implicated in the delayed erythropoietic response during severe anemia. In this study, plasma levels of soluble erythropoietin receptor (sEPO-R) and soluble granulocyte, macrophage-colony stimulating factor receptor (sGM-CSFR) were assessed in Methods: This case-control study was conducted at Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ghana. One hundred and twenty Results: Plasma levels of sEPO-R were higher among participants with severe malarial anemia (SMA) than those in the non-SMA and control groups ( Conclusion:
