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

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare and complex disease resulting from abnormal alternative complement activation with a wide range of clinical presentations. Extra-renal manifestations of aHUS can involve many organ systems, including the peripheral and central nervous, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, integumentary, pulmonary, as well as the eye. While some of these extra-renal manifestations occur in the acute phase of aHUS, some can also occur as long-term sequelae of unopposed complement activation. Extra-renal symptoms are observed in approximately 20% of patients with aHUS, with the incidence of specific organ system complications ranging from a few case reports to 50% of described patients. Careful monitoring for extra-renal involvement is critical in patients with aHUS, as prompt evaluation and management may decrease the risk of high morbidity and mortality associated with aHUS.
