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

objectiveTo describe two cases of patients who had thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) associated with sickle cell disease (SCD). CASE DESCRIPTION: Both patients started with a painful crisis and had acute chest syndrome during hospitalization. They showed significant worsening of hemolytic anemia, with very high levels of lactate dehydrogenase, thrombocytopenia, lowered level of consciousness, organ damage and the presence of schistocytes in peripheral blood. Due to the possibility of TMA, despite the very rare association with SCD, they were treated with fresh frozen plasma replacement and plasmapheresis, with good response. COMMENTS: TMA is a serious, life-threatening disease, characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and organ damage. The association of SCD and TMA is difficult to diagnose, since they can share a similar clinical presentation. Recognizing this association and promptly instituting treatment may impact the survival of these patients.
