Unusual presentation of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) versus catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome in a patient with Moya-Moya disease, case report, and literature review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. 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
Coincidences in medicine are not so common. We are presenting a case of a patient diagnosed with Moya-Moya disease and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who presented with clinical and laboratory characteristics of catastrophic APS versus TTP. The diagnosis was a challenge because characteristics were overlapping. Nevertheless, a decision to treat the patient for TTP was made with afterward improvement. MMD has been associated with multiple immune disorders; however, only one case of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura has been documented in association with this disease. None has been associated with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. We are presenting a challenging case where all these three medical conditions were present at the same time.
