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

De novo and relapsed immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) have been documented to have occurred following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) vaccination. Here, we present a case of a 28-year-old woman who received the tozinameran (BNT162b2, Pfizer-BioNtech) vaccine for COVID-19 and experienced an iTTP relapse during longitudinal follow-up. She received the vaccine 30 months after her initial diagnosis, while she was in clinical remission. She was not in complete ADAMTS-13 remission, as she had undetectable ADAMTS-13 activity during follow-up except for one isolated measurement of 48%. Shortly after vaccination, she developed complaints of bruising, petechiae, ataxia, and an episode of slurred speech. Laboratory testing demonstrated thrombocytopenia, schistocytes, and eventually undetectable ADAMTS-13 activity. She was successfully treated with caplacizumab, rituximab, and corticosteroids without plasma exchange. She achieved complete clinical and ADAMTS-13 remission after treatment. We recommend caution in the administration of COVID-19 vaccines for survivors of iTTP in remission with severely deficient ADAMTS-13 activity.
