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

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a hematopoietic disorder with a nonspecific clinical presentation that often delays the diagnosis. We present the case of a 32-year-old female patient who presented with diffuse abdominal pain, fatigue, and anemia. An abdominal ultrasound was performed, revealing hepatosplenomegaly, and a subsequent abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified diffuse, symmetrical renal cortical hypointense signal, consistent with chronic iron deposits due to intravascular hemolysis, together with absent hepatic venous flow and lack of venous enhancement, indicating chronic hepatic venous outflow obstruction consistent with Budd-Chiari syndrome. The combination of renal hemosiderosis with venous thrombosis at an unusual site prompted a hematological evaluation, which confirmed the diagnosis. This case reinforces a well-recognized imaging pattern that helps radiologists suspect this entity, thereby enabling timely diagnosis and treatment.
