Cord Blood-Based Neonatal Screening for Hemoglobinopathies in Northern Tunisia.
Article in International journal of neonatal screening, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Hemoglobinopathies represent a major public health concern in Tunisia. Although early diagnosis is essential, systemic neonatal screening has not yet been implemented at the national level. We conducted a screening study in Northern Tunisia (Bizerte region) using cord blood samples. Complete blood counts and hemoglobin analysis by capillary electrophoresis were performed. Samples showing abnormal profiles (HbBart's, HbS, HbC, or HbA < 20%) underwent molecular testing. Correlations between hematological parameters, hemoglobin fractions, and β mutation types were assessed. Among 328 neonatal cord blood samples analyzed, we detected 3 silent α
