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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome characterized by persistent activation of the mononuclear phagocytic system, systemic inflammation, and hypercytokinaemia, which can lead to liver failure, "sepsis-like syndrome" and ultimately, to multiple organ failure and death. These disorders can be divided into primary and secondary (or reactive), the first, also known as familial HLH, is a genetic condition of childhood, which affects the function of TCD8 and NK cells, and usually presents in the first year of life. The secondary HLH affects mainly adults and adolescents and, it's more related to dysregulation of the immune system. In face of the COVID-19 pandemic and several reports of HLH by SARS-CoV-2, it is necessary to discuss the pathophysiology of HLH in adults more clearly. Thus, we present, for the first time, a didactic approach using illustrations and tables, compiling the most recent and relevant information to better understand this entity.
