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

Coagulation factor VII plays a crucial role in the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. Deficiency of coagulation factors, including factor VII, is a rare but recognized cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in women. This case report presents an 11-year-old previously healthy girl who arrived at the emergency department with 18 days of heavy menstrual bleeding and hemodynamic instability due to severe anemia. Laboratory evaluation revealed prolonged prothrombin time (PT/INR) with a normal partial thromboplastin time (PTT). A factor VII activity assay confirmed a severely decreased serum factor VII level. Bleeding was successfully managed with recombinant human factor VII. Further family screening showed reduced factor VII activity in the patient's mother and three siblings, while the father's levels were normal, suggesting a possible dominant inheritance pattern. However, genetic testing is required to confirm this hypothesis.
