Distinct patterns of health risk behaviours in adolescents with thalassaemia.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundThalassaemia is a significant public health concern in Southeast Asia, yet little is known about health risk behaviours in adolescents with this condition. This study aimed to compare health risk behaviours between adolescents with thalassaemia and healthy controls, and to identify associated clinical and sociodemographic factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 60 adolescents with thalassaemia (aged 10-18 years) and 60 age- and sex-matched healthy controls in Thailand. Health risk behaviours were assessed using the validated Thai Youth Risk Behaviour Survey. Clinical data were extracted from medical records. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with risk behaviours.
resultsAdolescents with thalassaemia reported higher rates of non-seatbelt use (25.0% vs. 1.7%,
conclusionsAdolescents with thalassaemia exhibit distinct patterns of health risk behaviours, influenced by age, gender and disease severity. These findings underscore the need for integrated physical and psychosocial care, highlighting the importance of tailored health education and interventions for this vulnerable group.
