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

Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a disorder characterized by the simultaneous presence of myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic features, primarily affecting infants and young children. Due to the heterogeneous genetic background among patients, the current clinical and laboratory prognostic features are insufficient for accurately predicting outcomes. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify novel prognostic indicators. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a critical parameter reflecting the variability in erythrocyte size. Recent studies have emphasized that elevated RDW serves as a valuable predictive marker for unfavorable outcomes across various diseases. However, the prognostic role of RDW in JMML remains unclear. Patients with JMML from our single-center cohort between January 2008 and December 2019 were included. Overall, 77 patients were eligible. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models showed that patients with red cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) >17.35% at diagnosis were susceptible to much worse overall survival rate (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.22, confidence interval [CI] = 1.50-18.21,
