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

Association of acquired factor II deficiency and lupus anticoagulant is a rare disease that can be related to sudden, severe or fatal haemorrhage. We present a 74-years-old woman with history of myelodysplastic syndrome, admitted to the Emergency Department due to spontaneous mucocutaneous bleeding. Coagulation assays revealed prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time with evidence of an immediate acting inhibitor. Antithrombotic therapy usage, drug ingestion, disseminated intravascular coagulation, liver dysfunction and sepsis were excluded. Patient was admitted for close monitoring and etiological evaluation. A comprehensive bleeding diathesis workup was performed showing factor II levels severely decreased and transient positive lupus anticoagulant. Immunosuppression with methylprednisolone lasted for 3 days, followed by prednisolone. After 20 days she was discharged and follow-up was scheduled. Early diagnosis of lupus anticoagulant hypoprothrombinemia syndrome is critical, as it may result in fatal complications if not treated appropriately. There is no consensus regarding the best treatment, most being based on immunosuppression.
