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

purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to provide an update of the therapeutic tools for thrombotic anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS), focusing on the last 5 years. RECENT

findingsEarly studies appointed anticoagulation at moderate intensity as the mainstay of treatment of thrombotic APS; in the last 5 years, the strategy has not much mutated. Some uncertainties regarding the role of direct oral anticoagulants and the optimal regimen for arterial thrombotic APS still persist: high-intensity anticoagulation, anticoagulation plus anti-platelet agent, and double anti-platelet agents being the possible alternatives. Several drugs have been proposed as effective additional tools for the management of thrombotic APS: hydroxychloroquine, statins, vitamin D, and sirolimus might be beneficial when added on the top of anticoagulation. Pregnant women with thrombotic APS should be switched to low-dose aspirin plus low molecular weight heparin at therapeutic dose. Despite adequate treatment, APS patients display a significant rate of recurrences; rituximab, eculizumab, and intravenous immunoglobulins are among the options to be considered for these patients. From 2013 to date, the kaleidoscope of therapeutic options in thrombotic APS has been enriched, but tangible improvements in the management of patients are still awaited.
