In one paragraph

Article in Kidney international reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01522183 (An Observational, Non-Interventional, Multi-Center, Multi-National Study of Patients With Atypical Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Introduction: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a progressive rare disease that, if untreated, can result in severe organ damage and death. Ravulizumab, a next-generation terminal complement inhibitor, provides immediate, complete, and sustained complement C5 inhibition. Real-world data in patients with aHUS who switched to ravulizumab from eculizumab are lacking. Methods: The Global aHUS Registry is a multicenter study (NCT01522183) collecting data on adult or pediatric patients with an aHUS diagnosis, regardless of treatment. Patient characteristics, genetic data, hematological and renal parameters, clinical events (e.g., dialysis and kidney transplantation), and adverse events (AEs) were extracted from patients who switched to ravulizumab from eculizumab up to July 3, 2023. Results: Overall, 60 patients switched to ravulizumab (adult: Conclusion: This is the first real-world cohort analysis of data from patients treated with ravulizumab and reinforces the real-world safety and effectiveness data of ravulizumab in patients with aHUS who switched from eculizumab.
