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

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) are well recognized post-transplant complications that carry a high risk of mortality; however, the risk of DAH complicating the course of transplant patients with TA-TMA is not well understood. We conducted a ten-year retrospective study at our institution to determine the incidence of DAH in a cohort of pediatric patients with TA-TMA and described their presentation and outcomes. Additionally, autopsy slides, when available, were reviewed to assess for histological evidence of microvascular injury and alveolar hemorrhages. A total of 58 pediatric patients with TA-TMA were identified. Of these, 14 (24%) had DAH. Majority of DAH cases occurred within a week of TA-TMA diagnosis (n = 8, 57%, range 0-698 days). Mortality was 100% for patients with DAH and TA-TMA. Infections were found to be a significant risk factor for DAH in TA-TMA. Autopsy was performed in 11 of the 14 patients, and pulmonary slides were available for review in ten cases. 70% cases had pathological evidence of microvascular injury, concerning for pulmonary TA-TMA. We conclude that DAH is a potentially fatal complication in patients with TA-TMA and may be a result of pulmonary microangiopathy.
