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

ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) is also called von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease (VWFCP). ADAMTS13 acts to cleave VWF multimers and thus reduce plasma VWF activity. In the absence of ADAMTS13 (i.e., in thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, TTP), plasma VWF can accumulate, in particular as "ultra-large" VWF multimers, and this can lead to thrombosis. Relative deficiencies in ADAMTS13 can also occur in a variety of other conditions, including secondary thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA). Of contemporary interest, COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) may also be associated with relative reduction of ADAMTS13 and also pathological accumulation of VWF, with this likely contributing to the thrombosis risk seen in affected patients. Laboratory testing for ADAMTS13 can assist in the diagnosis of these disorders (i.e., TTP, TMA), as well as in their management, and can be achieved using a variety of assays. This chapter therefore provides an overview of laboratory testing for ADAMTS13 and the value of such testing to assist the diagnosis and management of associated disorders.
