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

BACKGROUND Evans syndrome is characterized by 'warm' autoimmune hemolytic anemia and autoimmune thrombocytopenia, and is more common in the pediatric population than in adults. Evans syndrome is often associated with underlying autoimmune disease, connective tissue disease, immune deficiency disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders, or malignancy of the immune system. A case is presented of acute kidney injury due to hemoglobin cast nephropathy in an adult man with Evans syndrome. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old man was diagnosed with Evans syndrome, which was complicated by acute renal failure that required treatment with hemodialysis. Laboratory tests and renal histology confirmed a diagnosis of hemolysis-associated hemoglobin cast nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of Evans syndrome is important as it may be associated with underlying hematological and immunological disorders. Although rare, hemoglobin cast nephropathy due to hemolysis can be a cause of acute kidney injury in patients with Evans syndrome.
