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

Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (hTTP) is a rare disorder caused by severe ADAMTS13 deficiency. Major morbidities and death at a young age are common. Although replacement of ADAMTS13 can prevent morbidities and death, current regimens of plasma prophylaxis are insufficient. We identified 226 patients with hTTP in 96 reports published from 2001 through 2020. Age at diagnosis was reported for 202 patients; 117 were female and 85 were male. The difference was caused by diagnosis of 34 women during pregnancy, suggesting that many men and nulliparous women are not diagnosed. Eighty-three patients had severe jaundice at birth; hTTP was suspected and effectively treated in only 3 infants. Of the 217 patients who survived infancy, 73 (34%) had major morbidities defined as stroke, kidney injury, or cardiac injury that occurred at a median age of 21 years. Sixty-two patients had stroke; 13 strokes occurred in children age 10 years or younger. Of the 54 patients who survived their initial major morbidity and were subsequently observed, 37 (69%) had sustained or subsequent major morbidities. Of the 39 patients who were observed after age 40 years, 20 (51%) had experienced a major morbidity. Compared with an age- and sex-matched US population, probability of survival was lower at all ages beginning at birth. Prophylaxis was initiated in 45 patients with a major morbidity; in 11 (28%), a major morbidity recurred after prophylaxis had begun. Increased recognition of hTTP and more effective prophylaxis started at a younger age are required to improve health outcomes.
