A Rare Case of Hemophilia: Acquired Factor VIII Deficiency.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Unlike hereditary hemophilia, acquired hemophilia is a rare life-threatening bleeding disorder that occurs in a person who has no personal or family history of bleeding episodes. It usually presents with new-onset subcutaneous/joint/muscle bleeding causing ecchymoses and hematomas, hematuria, GI bleeding, retroperitoneal bleeding, or rarely acute intracranial hemorrhage in elderly individuals. The diagnosis involves assessing prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and conducting mixing studies after ruling out lupus anticoagulants and interfering substances such as heparins. Management consists of controlling hemostasis using recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) and activated prothrombin complex concentrates (aPCC), along with eradicating autoantibodies against factor VIII from the body system using immunosuppressive therapies. Due to the risk of uncontrolled bleeding in individuals who were previously normal, delayed diagnoses and recurrences are not uncommon, potentially resulting in unfavorable outcomes.
