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

backgroundThe majority of patients diagnosed with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura have autoantibodies directed towards the spacer domain of ADAMTS13. DESIGN AND

methodsIn this study we explored the epitope specificity and immunoglobulin class and immunoglobulin G subclass distribution of anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies. The epitope specificity of anti-spacer domain antibodies was examined using plasma from 48 patients with acute acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura by means of immunoprecipitation of ADAMTS13 variants containing single or multiple alanine substitutions. Using similar methods, we also determined the presence of anti-TSP2-8 and CUB1-2 domain antibodies in this cohort of patients.

resultsAntibody profiling revealed that anti-ADAMTS13 immunoglobulin G1 and immunoglobulin G4 predominate in plasma of patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Analysis of anti-spacer domain antibodies revealed that Arg568 and Phe592, in addition to residues Arg660, Tyr661, and Tyr665, also contribute to an antigenic surface in the spacer domain. The majority of patients (90%) lost reactivity towards the spacer domain following introduction of multiple alanine substitutions at Arg568, Phe592, Arg660, Tyr661 and Tyr665. Anti-TSP2-8 and anti-CUB1-2 domain-directed antibodies were present in, respectively, 17% and 35% of the patients' samples analyzed.

conclusionsImmunoglobulin G directed towards a single antigenic surface comprising residues Arg568, Phe592, Arg660, Tyr661 and Tyr665 predominates in the plasma of patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
