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

backgroundHemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) may present atypically without the full triad of classical HUS. Eculizumab has been shown to be efficacious in complement-mediated atypical HUS and some cases of Shiga-toxin (ST) associated HUS. We report the utility of eculizumab in enteroaggregative CASE SUMMARY: A female toddler presented with hemolytic anemia, oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) without thrombocytopenia, and peripheral schistocytes. The stool examination for ST was negative but positive for EAEC. She required several hemodialysis sessions and received one dosage of eculizumab with rapid reversal of AKI and hemolytic markers. A kidney biopsy revealed acute tubular injury and segmental glomerular basement membrane splitting. Genetic testing was negative for complement mutations or deficiencies. A follow-up six months later showed persistently normal renal function and hematological markers.

conclusionThe clinical and histological manifestations of non-ST-associated diarrheal HUS and the role of eculizumab in this condition warrant future larger studies.
