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

Objective- ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats-13) cleaves VWF (von Willebrand factor). This process is essential for hemostasis. Severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 activity, most commonly resulting from autoantibodies against ADAMTS13, causes thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Therapeutic plasma exchange is the standard of care to date, which removes autoantibodies and replenishes ADAMTS13. However, such a therapy is often ineffective to raise plasma ADAMTS13 activity, and in-hospital mortality rate remains as high as 20%. Approach and Results- To overcome the inhibition by autoantibodies, we developed a novel approach by delivering rADAMTS13 (recombinant ADAMTS13 ) using platelets as vehicles. We show that both human and murine platelets can uptake rADAMTS13 ex vivo. The endocytosed rADAMTS13 within platelets remains intact, active, and is stored in α-granules. Under arterial shear (100 dyne/cm
