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

The Walking Estimated Limitation Stated by History (WELSH) questionnaire is a pictorial tool for assessing functional walking ability accessible to people with little or no schooling . Its use in severe anemia of pregnancy have not yet been studied. We aimed to evaluate the correlation of the WELSH score to hemoglobin level (Hb) and the sensitivity of the WELSH tool to hemoglobin changes in pregnant women. We performed a prospective study among pregnant women with documented severe biological anemia. Patients completed the WELSH questionnaire upon admission to the hospital and again at the time of discharge after transfusion. We calculated the coefficient of determination between the WELSH and hemoglobin level. The coefficient of determination R
