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

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) represent a spectrum of related disorders associated with newly formed thrombi that block perfusion and thus affect the function of either renal or neurological organs and tissue. Recent years have seen a dramatic development in the field of TMA and for the two major forms hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), new genetic causes and also autoimmune forms have been identified. This development indicates a similar pathophysiology and suggests that the two acute disorders are based on common principles. HUS is primarily a kidney disease and TTP also develops in the kidney and at neurological sites. In HUS thrombi formation is likely due to a deregulated complement activation and inappropriate platelet activity. In TTP thrombi formation occurs because of inappropriate processing of released multimers of von Willebrand Factor (vWF). Defining both the similarities and the unique features of each disorder will open up new ways and concepts that are relevant for diagnosis, for therapy, and for the prognostic outcome of kidney transplantations. Here we summarize the most relevant topics and timely issues that were presented and discussed at the 4th International Workshop on Thrombotic Microangiopathies held in Weimar in October 2009 (www.hus-ttp.de).
