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

summaryWe report a case of a woman with pregnancyrelated thrombotic thrombocytopoenic purpura/haemolytic uraemic syndrome (TTP/HUS) who developed cerebral vasospasm similar to that seen in the other pregnancy-related thrombotic microangiopathic syndromes of eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. A further complication in this case was the development of a focal intracerebral haemorrhage necessitating surgical removal. Despite a successful evacuation of the haematoma and several plasma exchange treatments she developed recurrent haemolysis and thrombocytopoenia with an eventual fatal outcome due to severe pulmonary and gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
