Thrombotic microangiopathy due to primary antiphospholipid syndrome: successful treatment with eculizumab.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy includes a variety of histological lesions, including thrombotic microangiopathy, which is not included among the diagnostic criteria of antiphospholipid syndrome. Whereas in secondary antiphospholipid syndrome, e.g. to systemic lupus erythematosus, there is emerging evidence of a benefit from complement blockade with eculizumab, optimal treatment of primary antiphospholipid syndrome-associated thrombotic microangiopathy is currently unknown. We report the case of a 36-year-old male patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome-associated thrombotic microangiopathy, presenting with a clinical picture of atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome with frequent relapses, treated with eculizumab (four 900 mg weekly doses followed by 1200 mg fortnightly infusions) leading to resolution of hemolysis, long-term remission and partial kidney function recovery (peak serum creatinine 3.8 mg/dL, decreased and stabilized around 2.5 mg/dL) over a follow up period of over 2 years.
