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

Thrombotic microangiopathy is a potentially lethal complication of haematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation. The pathophysiology is incompletely understood, although endothelial damage appears to be central. Platelet activation, neutrophil extracellular traps and complement activation appear to play key roles. Diagnosis may be difficult and universally accepted diagnostic criteria are not available. Treatment remains controversial. In some cases, withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors is adequate. Rituximab and defibrotide also appear to have been used successfully. In severe cases, complement inhibitors such as eculizumab may play a valuable role. Further research is required to define the pathophysiology and determine both robust diagnostic criteria and the optimal treatment.
