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

Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) survivors experience high rates of adverse health sequelae and increased mortality over long-term follow-up. We conducted this multicenter cohort study to evaluate long-term mortality and causes of death in iTTP survivors. Between 2003 and 2020, 222 patients were enrolled in the Ohio State University and Johns Hopkins TTP registries and followed for a median of 4.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 75 0.4-11.5) years. Nine patients died during their first iTTP episode, and 29 patients died during follow-up. Mortality rate was 1.8 times higher than expected from an age-, sex-, and race-adjusted reference population. Cardiovascular disease was a leading primary cause of death (27.6%) tied with relapsed iTTP (27.6%), followed by malignancy (20.7%), infection (13.8%), and other causes (10.3%). Male sex (hazard ratio [HR], 3.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65-8.48), increasing age (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.07), and number of iTTP episodes (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01-1.20) were associated with mortality in a model adjusted for African American race (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.30-1.65), hypertension (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.20-1.08), chronic kidney disease (HR 1.46; 95% CI, 0.65-3.30), and site (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.64-3.30). There was a trend toward shorter survival in patients with lower ADAMTS13 activity during remission (P = .078). Our study highlights the need for survivorship care and investigation focused on cardiovascular disease and early mortality in TTP survivors.
