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

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is a rare autosomal recessive microangiopathic disorder caused by inherited mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene. cTTP treatment involves infusing ADAMTS13-rich blood products like fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to replenish levels and prevent disease relapses. Alternative therapies like recombinant ADAMTS13, plasma-derived Factor VIII, or caplacizumab may be used for patients unable to tolerate FFP. We present a case of a five-month-old girl who had recurrent episodes of anemia and thrombocytopenia. She was diagnosed with cTTP based on the presence of low ADAMTS13 activity and the identification of a homozygous likely pathogenic variant in the ADAMTS13 gene. After receiving regular transfusions of FFP, our patient improved significantly and has been asymptomatic for 18 months with no transfusion complications.
