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

backgroundThe 2 main forms of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) are thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Deficiency of ADAMTS13 and dysregulation of the complement pathway result in TTP and aHUS, respectively; however, overlap of their clinical characteristics makes differential diagnosis challenging. OBJECTIVES AND

methodsWe aimed to develop a TMA diagnosis workflow based on ADAMTS13 activity and screening of PATIENTS: For this, from a cohort of 154 Portuguese patients with acute TMA, the genotype-phenotype correlations were analyzed in 7 hereditary TTP (ADAMTS13 activity <10%, no inhibitor), 36 acquired TTP (ADAMTS13 activity <10%, presence of an inhibitor), and in 34 presumable aHUS.

resultsIn total, 37 different rare variants, 8 of which novel (in

conclusionsOur study provides evidence of the usefulness of the NGS panel as an excellent technology that enables more rapid diagnosis of TMA, and is a valuable asset in clinical practice to discriminate between TTP and aHUS.
