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

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening blood disorder caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of ADAMTS13 and can occur secondary to various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, infections, medications, pregnancy, and malignancies. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) inducing TTP is uncommon and not widely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of TTP induced by DKA in an adult patient. His clinical picture, serological, and biochemical results confirmed the diagnosis of TTP induced by DKA, and his clinical course did not improve despite normalization of glucose level, plasmapheresis, and aggressive management. Our case report emphasizes the importance of considering TTP as a potential complication of DKA.
