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

To examine the thalassemia genotypes and distribution among pregnant women in Shenzhen, as well as the diagnostic value of HbA2 in thalassemia screening, in order to provide scientific evidence for thalassemia prevention and control in this region. From January 2018 to June 2024, Shenzhen recorded 3243 cases of suspected thalassemia carriers. HbA2 was detected by hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis. The deletions of α-thalassemia mutation by gap-polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR), and the non-deletion α-thalassemia mutations and β-thalassemia mutations were detected by reverse dot-blot hybridization (RDB-PCR). The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was utilized to analyze the diagnostic value of HbA2 for pregnant women's thalassemia. A total of 656 carriers were detected in 3243 pregnant women with suspected thalassemia carriers, with a positive detection rate of about 20.22%. 459 cases were defined to be α-thalassemia, with the main type of
