A rare case of acquired von Willebrand syndrome type 2B: diagnosis, treatment, and underlying pathophysiology.

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
Background: Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) is a rare bleeding disorder that usually mimics type 1 or 2A von Willebrand disease (VWD). Key Clinical Question: Can AVWS mimic the phenotype of type 2B VWD? Clinical Approach: A 64-year-old male patient presented with thrombocytopenia, normal routine hemostasis results, and normal VWF antigen and factor VIII levels but reduced von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity (31 IU/dL). The ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation test showed paradoxical aggregation at low doses of ristocetin, suggesting type 2B VWD, but no deleterious sequence variation was found in either the Conclusion: This AVWS with a 2B phenotype VWD was probably related to a monoclonal immunoglobulin G antibody causing a VWF conformational change, resulting in increased affinity to platelet glycoprotein-Ib. In the event of surgery or bleeding, treatment with vonicog alfa seems to be the best option for this patient.
