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

A 43-year-old Armenian patient was diagnosed with salmonella infection and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The clinical course was benign with resolution of all laboratory alterations after antibiotic treatment. Constantly deficient ADAMTS13 activity without ADAMTS13 inhibitors and evidence of homozygosity for a rare complex ADAMTS13 allele led to the diagnosis of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP). Half-life of ADAMTS13 after plasma infusion was calculated (27,6h) and double blinded plasma infusion as well as ergometric exercise with and without prior plasma infusion undertaken to investigate suspected smoldering TTP activity.
