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

objectiveReference intervals (RIs) are crucial for the interpretation of results and overall patient management. There are currently no known established reference values for haematological parameters for patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in Nigeria, making it difficult for clinicians to interpret and diagnose abnormalities appropriately. This study aimed at establishing RIs of some haematological indices for individuals with SCA.

resultsGenerally, the reference interval for Haematocrit (%) is 17.8 to 29.7, while the WBC (x 10
