Pregnancy-Associated Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Successfully Treated with Ravulizumab: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (p-aHUS) refers to a pregnancy that leads to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). This disease is associated with adverse maternal outcomes. We encountered a case of p-aHUS, in which treatment with ravulizumab, a long-acting C5 inhibitor, resulted in a favorable clinical course and recovery of renal function. The patient was a 31-year-old woman with no apparent medical history. She developed TMA on the third postpartum day and was initially treated with steroids, plasma exchange, and hemodialysis (HD). On the seventh day of treatment initiation, she was diagnosed with p-aHUS, and treatment with ravulizumab was started. Following administration, her platelet count increased, and her acute kidney injury improved. Consequently, HD was discontinued after six sessions, and the patient was discharged on the 28th day of treatment initiation and continued her recovery at home. Similar to eculizumab, ravulizumab is an effective treatment for p-aHUS. Early administration of ravulizumab after diagnosis of p-aHUS may contribute to favorable clinical outcomes and recovery of renal function, as observed in the present case.
