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

A 42-year-old male was referred to the internal medicine department because of renal failure and persistent malaise after a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Blood results showed anemia and severe renal insufficiency (hemoglobin of 10.3 g/dL and a creatinine of 2.19 mg/dL). Additional tests revealed a type I cryoglobulinemia with a cryoprecipitate composed of dual IgM (kappa and lambda). Further investigations on the cryoprecipitate revealed that the immunoglobulins were directed against SARS-CoV-2 antigens. In the meanwhile, our patient noticed improvement of his symptoms accompanied by resolution of laboratory abnormalities. Three months later, the cryoglobulin could no longer be detected.Type 1 cryoglobulinemia is usually associated with lymphoproliferative disorders and is characterized by various symptoms caused by cryoprecipitates occluding small blood vessels. This is, to our knowledge, the first case of type I cryoglobulinemia with proven precipitation of SARS-CoV-19 antibodies. COVID-19 induced cryoglobulinemia appears to have a mild disease course and to be self-limiting upon viral clearance.
