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

backgroundStudies investigating drug-induced anaemia are relatively scarce and mostly related to specific drugs or patients with specific pathologies.

objectiveTo analyse all reports of suspected drug-induced anaemias recorded in the National Pharmacovigilance Database of the Italian Medicines Agency.

methodThe cases of suspected drug-induced anaemias analysed were those retrieved from the Italian National Pharmacovigilance Database from January 2001 to December 2013.

resultsThe active substances involved were 375 in 3,305 reports of drug-induced anaemia; of these, 72 % were reported as serious. In 35 % of the reports patients were in polytherapy. In 24.3 % of the cases relevant DDIs were identified. We found a PRR value of 57.29 for peginterferon alfa-2a, of 12.57 for ribavirin, of 13 for flu vaccine for the occurrence of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. The drugs mostly involved in the cases where the Naranjo causality was probable or possible were acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin, ribavirin, peginterferon alfa-2a, carboplatin and acenocoumarol.

conclusionsA possible signal was detected for peginterferon alfa-2a, ribavirin and flu vaccine in the occurrence of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. A great involvement of clopidogrel, enoxaparin, warfarin, ticlopidine and acetylsalicylic acid in preventable DDI-induced anaemia was detected, highlighting a poor awareness among healthcare providers on this issue.
