Post-partum Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura with Puerperal Sepsis- A Case Report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Post-partum TTP is an uncommon thrombotic microangiopathy affecting about 1 in 200,000 pregnancies in contrast to preeclampsia and HUS, which have been reported commonly. Case presentation: We report a case of a postpartum TTP following purpureal sepsis. The patient was brought with per vaginal bleed, vomiting, chest pain, yellow discoloration of sclera, and abdominal discomfort following a spontaneous vaginal delivery two days back at a hospital. Clinical findings and investigations: The workup revealed anemia and thrombocytopenia with deranged PT/INR. The renal profile deteriorated over one day and she also developed psychosis. Additionally, schistocytes were observed on the peripheral blood smear. Interventions and outcome: The patient was subsequently treated with dialysis followed by plasmapheresis in addition to the antibiotics after the diagnosis of TTP and made a complete recovery. Relevance and impact: 25% of TTP occurs in the intra or postpartum period. It is thus pivotal to keep it among differentials and intervened timely to reduce morbidity and mortality. Vigilance is required to prevent any relapse in subsequent pregnancies.
