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

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is characterized by complement-dependent intravascular hemolysis and thrombosis as well as bone marrow failure. Complement dysregulation occurs as a result of defective cell surface expression of two glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored complement regulators, decay-accelerating factor/CD55 and CD59, caused by somatic mutation of the phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class A gene (PIGA). Somatic loss-of-function mutation of PIGA generates GPI-anchor-defective hematopoietic stem cell clones, the expansion of which results in large numbers of abnormal erythrocytes, platelets, and other blood cells. The clonal expansion of PIGA mutant hematopoietic stem cells is thought to be mediated by an autoimmune mechanism that suppresses or eliminates normal hematopoietic stem cells while sparing GPI-defective stem cell clones under bone marrow failure environments, the acquisition of a growth phenotype, or both of these mechanisms. This review examines current knowledge and views about the clonal expansion mechanism.
