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

Given the limited real-world data of caplacizumab, our multicenter real-world study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of caplacizumab in immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic pupura (iTTP), compared to historic controls. We have studied 70 patients: 23 in the caplacizumab and 47 in the historic control group. Plasma exchange was applied in all episodes except for two patients that denied plasma exchange. Rituximab as first-line treatment was more common in the caplacizumab group compared to historic control. Caplacizumab (10 mg daily) was given at a median on day 7 (1-43) from initial diagnosis for 32 (6-47) dosages. In the caplacizumab group, a median of 12 (8-23) patients required plasma exchange sessions versus 14 (6-32) in the control group. Caplacizumab administration did not produce any grade 3 complications or major hemorrhagic events. After a median of 19.0 (2.6-320) months since the iTTP diagnosis, 5 deaths occurred (4 in the control group and 1 in the caplacizumab group,
