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

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon is a process where the presence of vascular irregularity within a Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma or tufted angioma leads to constitutive coagulation factor activation and the development of chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A similar phenomenon has been seen in other tumors but has rarely been described. A 42-year-old woman presented to the hospital following the development of worsening easy bruising and bleeding. She was ultimately found to have a massive uterine fibroid that led to constitutive coagulation cascade activation and subsequent chronic DIC. Following resection, she had complete resolution of DIC and made a full recovery. Although rare, the development of unexplained chronic DIC in a woman should prompt evaluation for the presence of massive uterine fibroids.
