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

backgroundImmune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a potentially fatal thrombotic microangiopathy, resulting from a severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS-13 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin type 1 motif, member 13) activity. IgG-type autoantibodies are primarily responsible for the inhibition of plasma ADAMTS-13 activity. However, the mechanism underlying autoantibody-mediated inhibition is not fully understood.

objectiveThe purpose of the present study is to determine the role of IgG autoantibodies against various carboxyl-terminal domains of ADAMTS-13 in regulating ADAMTS-13 activity and its inhibition.

methodVarious human monoclonal antibodies isolated by phage display, recombinant protein expression and purification, and biochemical analyses were employed for the study.

resultsOur results demonstrate for the first time that a human monoclonal antibody fragment, the single chain fragment of the variable region (scFv) isolated from a patient with acute iTTP that binds the distal carboxyl-terminus of ADAMTS-13, is able to activate ADAMTS-13 and increase the proteolytic cleavage of a FRETS-VWF73 substrate; moreover, binding of such a human monoclonal antibody against the carboxyl-terminus of ADAMTS-13 to plasma ADAMTS-13 appears to modulate inhibition by another human monoclonal antibody (i.e., scFv4-20), also isolated from an iTTP patient, that targets the spacer domain of ADAMTS-13. These results provide new insights into our understanding of the pathogenesis of iTTP.
