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

Acquired hemophilia is a rare coagulopathy with hemorrhage into the skin, muscle, or soft tissues and mucous membranes and caused by inhibitor antibodies, mainly against FVIII. We report a case of acquired hemophilia presenting with diffuse cutaneous hemorrhage and hemothorax. The patient was found to have acquired an FVIII inhibitor and a high titer of anti β2 glycoprotein 1 IgG and IgM, and anticardiolipin IgM in the context of IgA kappa-type monoclonal gammopathy. He received 3 injections of recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa) and blood transfusion. He was started on steroids and oral cyclophosphamide for 6 weeks. Thromboprophylaxis with aspirin at 100 mg/day was started 3 months after discharge. Antiphospholipid antibodies remained positive after 3 months as well as prolonged aPTT, factor VIII raised at 100%, and the inhibitor was not detected. The association between acquired hemophilia and antiphospholipid antibodies is rare and its distinction is mandatory because clinical presentation ranges from massive hemorrhage to thrombosis.
