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

Purpose: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare monogenic chromosome breakage syndrome that presents with variable morphologic abnormalities and progressive bone marrow failure. Based on over 30 years of diagnostic experience, our main goal was to describe the Portuguese FA population and assess potential clinical and analytical phenotypic correlations with both molecular variants and chromosome instability (CI). Methods: We evaluated the in-house database from the Cytogenetics Laboratory of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Porto, which has provided nationwide CI testing since 1993. Results: Ninety-three FA cases were diagnosed between January 1993 and October 2025; 1 was diagnosed in the prenatal setting due to severe malformations. Molecular characterization was available for 50 of these cases. Of these, 45 carried Conclusion: Our data allowed the characterization of the Portuguese FA cohort from clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular perspectives, including the identification of population-specific molecular findings and associations between CI and clinical features. Findings related to cytogenetic assessment proved useful not only for diagnosis but also for FA follow-up and prognostic purposes.
