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: Hemophilia carriers (HCs) experience varied bleeding tendencies affecting their quality of life, yet their bleeding phenotype and management remain poorly understood. Since majority of the studies in carriers have focused on women of reproductive age, an unmet need exists to characterize their clinical, laboratory phenotype and treatment patterns across the lifespan. Objectives: The objective of our study was to investigate the age-dependent clinical and laboratory phenotype of hemophilia carriers across the lifespan. We also aimed to study the longitudinal treatment trends in HCs through analysis of the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network dataset. Methods: We investigated the age-dependent variation of bleeding phenotype, coagulation factor levels, and trends of utilization of factor concentrates and nonfactor hemostatic therapies (antifibrinolytics, 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) in HCs using the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network dataset from 2010 to 2020. The study included 3663 HCs (2728 hemophilia A, 935 hemophilia B) divided into 3 age groups: 0 to 12, 13 to 49, and >50 years. Results: Joint bleeding was prevalent across all ages of HCs. While bleeding events were more frequent among HCs within the reproductive-age group, hemophilia B carriers received factor therapy more frequently than hemophilia A carriers ( Conclusion: Our study confirms prior reports of increased bleeding in reproductive-age HCs and identifies lifelong joint bleeding risk. While the rising trend in hemostatic therapy use suggests growing awareness of bleeding tendencies, age-dependent increase in FVIII levels in hemophilia A carriers emphasizes the need for developing tailored management strategies across the lifespan for this population.
