Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in the Presence of a Urinary Tract Infection: A Rare Pediatric Case.

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
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a type of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia that rarely presents in the pediatric population. This life-threatening disorder manifests as severe consumptive thrombocytopenia and disseminated micro-thromboemboli, leading to organ ischemia. Here, we present a case of an acute first-time episode of acquired TTP in a 17-year-old African American female with a past medical history of obesity, recurrent urinary tract infections, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding managed with oral contraceptives. The disorder's insidious onset was only preceded by a urinary tract infection managed as an outpatient with oral cefdinir for four days before symptoms worsened. The patient was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, severe thrombocytopenia, low von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (
