Leg Ulcers in Thalassaemia: A Comparative Retrospective Review of Transfusion-Dependent and Non-Transfusion-Dependent Patients.
Article in International wound journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
To compare clinical and laboratory characteristics of transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion-dependent beta thalassaemia patients with leg ulcers, and to identify contributing and protective factors We retrospectively reviewed 12 patients with beta thalassaemia and leg ulcers (seven transfusion-dependent and five non-transfusion-dependent) at a tertiary centre. We analysed demographics, haemoglobin levels, ferritin, foetal haemoglobin, transfusion status, comorbidities, and ulcer characteristics. Transfusion-dependent patients were predominantly younger males (mean age: 31.9 years), while non-transfusion-dependent patients were older (mean age: 44.0 years). Ulcers were larger in transfusion-dependent patients (mean area: 3.1 cm
