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

Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare disorder with an incidence of 1.5 cases per million per year in the United Kingdom. The incidence could be underestimated due to difficulty in diagnosis and also due to the fact that people with low titre inhibitor levels are asymptomatic. It is usually a disease affecting elderly but a disease peak in the younger population is known. The common underlying diseases are autoimmune disorders, malignancies, infections, and drugs. However, approximately 50% of the cases do not have a specific aetiology and about 10% will not have bleeding manifestations. Therefore, an isolated prolongation of APTT should be evaluated, especially prior to any haemostatic challenges. We report a case of a middle-aged man who presented with bleeding due to AHA associated with high inhibitory titres and active pulmonary tuberculosis. He was treated with both antituberculous and combined-aggressive immunosuppressive therapy which resulted in satisfactory disease remission.
