HIV-Associated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in a Virally Suppressed Patient With Normal CD4 Count: A Rare Presentation.

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
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a thrombotic process characterized by multiorgan failure secondary to microvascular thrombi comprising platelets and von Willebrand factor. HIV is a known risk factor for TTP. However, patients generally have low CD4+ count during initial presentation or subsequent flare-ups. This case report describes a 69-year-old man with HIV who presented with an initial presentation of TTP while having a prior history of HIV with a normal CD4 count and undetectable viral load on presentation. A 69-year-old Caucasian male with a previous history of HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART), a history of recurrent deep vein thrombosis maintained on Coumadin, and no previous history of tobacco dependence or substance use presented to the emergency department with symptoms of fatigue and dyspnea worsening on exertion. The patient had stable vital signs on arrival. The initial lab workup was remarkable for hemoglobin of 9.3 g/dL, hematocrit 29%, platelets 22 x 10
