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

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) often resolves with discontinuation of heparin/ heparinoid products. Severe HIT with platelet counts <20,000/µL and disseminated intravascular coagulation is frequently associated with consumptive coagulopathy and systemic thrombosis. Management of severe HIT in patients who fail to improve on discontinuing heparinoid products and argatroban infusion is not well established. We describe a patient admitted with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who developed severe autoimmune HIT, failed conventional anticoagulation therapy with argatroban and progressed to develop extensive deep venous thrombosis and limb ischemia. She was successfully treated using bivalirudin, immunomodulation with 2 cycles of intravenous immunoglobulin and immunosuppression with methylprednisolone. Refractory severe HIT among SAH patients is rare and pose several therapeutic challenges. We report successful treatment using alternate anticoagulant and immune suppression and modulation.
