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

Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. This case report details an old male ES patient with acute myocardial infarction. He was successfully treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention in the case of low hemoglobin level (60 g/L). Considering ES recurrence after surgery, he was given human immunoglobulin, methyl prednisolone and TPO treatment. On the basis of his platelet count, the patient was required to take only one anti-platelet drug or stop all anti-platelet drugs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of ES with AMI. This case suggests that primary PCI can be a useful therapeutic strategy even if patient has low hemoglobin level, but careful balance between anti-platelet therapy and efforts to raise platelet count are needed after surgery.
