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

Caplacizumab reduces the need for therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) during treatment for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), associates with fewer required TPE, and shortens hospital stay. It is therefore recommended as part of standard care. However, the treatment effects on hemostasis may complicate initial management. We present a case of a woman with immune-mediated TTP who developed an intrathoracic hemorrhage on caplacizumab treatment after replacement of her central venous catheter. Reduced von Willebrand factor (vWF):glycoprotein Ib mutant (GPIbM) activity was reversed using vWF concentrate and the bleeding stopped. Unfortunately, vWF substitution in combination with caplacizumab discontinuation likely contributed to subsequent extensive venous thromboembolism. Risk-reducing strategies against both bleeding and thrombosis are crucial during caplacizumab treatment, and emergency vWF substitution increases the already high risk of thrombosis associated with TPE.
