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

backgroundAn appropriate clinical diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD) can be challenging because of a variable bleeding pattern and laboratory phenotype. Genotyping is a powerful diagnostic tool and may have an essential role in the diagnostic field of VWD.

objectivesTo unravel the clinical and laboratory heterogeneity of genetically confirmed VWD type 2M patients and to investigate their relationship.

methodsPatients with a confirmed VWD type 2M genetic variant in the A1 or A3 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and normal or only slightly aberrant VWF multimers were selected from all subjects genotyped at the Radboud university medical center because of a high suspicion of VWD. Bleeding scores and laboratory results were analyzed.

resultsFifty patients had a clinically relevant genetic variant in the A1 domain. Median bleeding score was 5. Compared with the nationwide Willebrand in the Netherlands study type 2 cohort, bleeding after surgery or delivery was reported more frequently and mucocutaneous bleedings less frequently. Median VWF activity/VWF antigen (VWF:Act/VWF:Ag) ratio was 0.32, whereas VWF collagen binding activity/VWF antigen (VWF:CB/VWF:Ag) ratio was 0.80. Variants in the A3 domain were only found in two patients with low to normal VWF:Act/VWF:Ag ratios (0.45, 1.03) and low VWF:CB/VWF:Ag ratios (0.45, 0.63).

conclusionGenetically confirmed VWD type 2M patients have a relatively mild clinical phenotype, except for bleeding after surgery and delivery. Laboratory phenotype is variable and depends on the underlying genetic variant. Addition of genotyping to the current phenotypic characterization may improve diagnosis and classification of VWD.
