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: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder characterized by complement-mediated hemolysis. Crovalimab, a novel anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, may offer a more convenient alternative to current therapies, highlighting the need for a comprehensive analysis of its efficacy and safety. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and clinicaltrials.gov using relevant keywords from inception until January 2025. Statistical calculation was conducted using MetaXL 5.3 by employing a random effects model to estimate the pooled event rates with 95% CI. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Results: This meta-analysis included four studies involving 275 patients with a mean age of 41.87 ± 13.34 years with rate of hemolysis control of 86% (95% CI: 77%-94%, Conclusion: We observed high rates of hemolysis control and transfusion avoidance but significant adverse events. Study heterogeneity and publication bias limit generalizability, highlighting the need for larger, more robust trials. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
