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

backgroundParoxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by the Donath-Landsteiner antibody (D-L antibody). In children, this is typically a transient immune-mediated hemolysis that follows a viral illness and does not recur. Recurrent acute or chronic PCH due to D-L antibody is very rare. CASE REPORT: We have reported a unique case of recurrent PCH in a 5-year-old boy with two acute episodes of hemolysis separated by 21 months of hematologic remission. Each episode was severe requiring red blood cell transfusions, intravenous methylprednisolone, and intravenous immunoglobulin during the second episode. Testing identified recurrence of the D-L antibody with the classic anti-P biphasic hemolysis.

conclusionThis demonstrates that PCH can be a recurrent disease in the pediatric population (in the absence of syphilis) with the classical D-L antibody.
