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.

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.

Abstract

The immune response to infused factor concentrates remains a major source of morbidity and mortality in the treatment of patients with hemophilia A and B. This review focuses on current treatment options and novel therapies currently in clinical trials. After a brief review of immune tolerance regimens, the focus of the discussion is on preventing bleeding in patients with hemophilia and inhibitors. Recombinant factor VIIa and activated prothrombin complex concentrates are the mainstays in treating bleeds in patients with inhibitors. Both agents have been shown to reduce bleeding episodes to a similar degree when infused prophylactically; however, individual patients may respond better to one agent over the other at any given time. The international immune tolerance trial revealed that a high-dose factor VIII regimen provided significantly better bleeding protection than the low-dose regimen. Given the high cost of treatment and the potential for a high-dose immune tolerance regimen to prevent bleeding in some patients, we discuss how we treat patients to maximize the prevention of bleeds while minimizing cost. Novel approaches to treatment of these patients are in development. These include agents that mimic factor VIII or augment thrombin generation by bypassing the inhibitor, as well as agents that inhibit the natural anticoagulants.
