Tertiary prophylaxis with extended half-life factor prophylaxis: a model to reduce disability in low- and middle-income countries.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe real-world data on treatment and outcome of hemophilia patients using extended half-life products in developing countries remain scarce. This is largely due to delayed diagnosis, poor joint outcomes, increased morbidity, and limited access to prophylaxis and newer products for treatment and prevention.
aimTo analyze the response to extended half-life factor (EHL) prophylaxis in patients with severe hemophilia A and B with advanced arthropathy.
methodsPatients with severe hemophilia A and B who received EHL factor concentrates for prophylaxis at our center were included in this analysis. Data collected included bleed frequency, joint involvement, annualized bleed rate (ABR), number of hospital visits, and Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) prior to prophylaxis. Breakthrough bleeds while on prophylaxis were also recorded.
resultsA total of 31 patients were started on EHL prophylaxis and followed up for a period ranging from 4 to 91 weeks. A reduction in the bleeding rate was noticed in all with significant reversal of target joints. Additionally, patients remained bleed-free during rehabilitation following joint surgery as well as psoas bleed-related compression neuropathy.
conclusionEHL prophylaxis appears to be an effective strategy even for patients with baseline target joints with significant arthropathy, thus reducing the extent of disability in these patients.
