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

Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a potentially fatal acquired thrombotic microangiopathy syndrome that frequently develops in the context of infectious diseases or systemic autoimmune conditions including connective tissue diseases. We report the case of a 42-year-old female suffering from severe iTTP associated with anti-Jo-1 positive antisynthetase syndrome, which was successfully treated with combination therapy of intravenous immune globulin, rituximab and plasma exchange. Based on a systematic review of the literature, two additional cases of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy-associated iTTP (secondary iTTP) were identified. In conclusion, iTTP may be a rare complication of IIM that clinicians should consider in cases of marked thrombocytopenia. Further work-up of this finding should include a peripheral blood smear (schistocyte count) and ADAMTS13 activity. The concomitant manifestation of these autoimmune conditions may require intensive immunosuppressive therapy.
