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

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition. The diagnosis is difficult as there are other conditions presenting with features akin to TMA during the peripartum period such as eclampsia, preeclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, and antiphospholipid syndrome. A 28-year-old woman with no significant past medical history developed TMA following a massive hemorrhage after an emergency cesarean section at 41 weeks of gestation. This case was finally diagnosed as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)-associated TMA. The patient fully recovered after plasma exchange therapy. We posit the value of accumulating case reports, given that the documentation on the efficacy of plasma exchange in PPH-associated TMA is limited.
