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: Cyclosporine A (CsA) is the standard first-line treatment for acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), but outcomes vary. Effective salvage strategies for CsA-refractory patients, particularly those with complex secondary subtypes, remain inadequately defined. Additionally, the clinical utility of Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of second-line sirolimus for the treatment of PRCA and explore the possible genetic predictors for the response. Design: This study was a retrospective, single center, comparative study. Methods: Patients with acquired PRCA treated between 2021 and 2025, including 36 patients who received first-line CsA and 22 patients who switched to sirolimus due to lack of response or intolerance. Clinical outcomes, including overall response rate (ORR) and time to response (TTR), were compared between primary and secondary PRCA. Results: The ORR for first-line CsA was 25.0% (9/36), with significantly higher efficacy observed in primary cases (42.1%, 8/19) than in secondary cases (5.9%, 1/17; Conclusions: CsA is effective in primary PRCA, whereas sirolimus demonstrates efficacy in both primary and secondary cases regardless of
