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.

Abstract

Patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) on anti-C5 often experience extravascular hemolysis with anemia. Iptacopan, the first oral proximal complement inhibitor targeting factor B, has shown efficacy and safety in PNH patients. APPULSE-PNH (NCT05630001), a phase 3b, single‑arm, open-label trial, enrolled adult patients with PNH and hemoglobin ≥10 g/dL on stable anti-C5 for ≥6 months. Patients switched to iptacopan monotherapy (200 mg twice daily; 24 weeks). Primary endpoint: mean hemoglobin change from baseline across four visits (Days 126-168). At baseline, 57.7% of patients had elevated absolute reticulocyte counts (ARCs; above ULN = 123 × 10
