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

An African-American man aged 65 years with multiple malignancies in remission was admitted for small bowel obstruction. He was treated with laparotomy following failure of conservative management. Postoperatively, he developed intra-abdominal bleed, which persisted, despite surgical haematoma evacuation. Further haematological workup revealed isolated prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) with reduced factor VIII (FVIII) activity and raised FVIII inhibitor titre. Assuming acquired haemophilia A (AHA), FVIII inhibitor bypassing activity and corticosteroids were started with subsequent resolution of the bleeding from the surgical site. The patient remained free of bleeding episodes at 3-month follow-up and the aPTT normalised. This case report highlights the association of surgery with AHA and summarises the treatments with underlying mechanisms.
