Pathophysiology, Treatment, and Prognosis of Thrombocytopenia, Anasarca, Fever, Reticulin Fibrosis/Renal Failure, and Organomegaly (TAFRO) Syndrome: A Review.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
TAFRO syndrome, first reported in 2010, is a systemic inflammatory disease with a rapid onset and potentially fatal course if not treated promptly and appropriately. The name is derived from the initial letters describing the characteristic symptoms of thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis/renal failure, and organomegaly. It is sometimes considered a special subtype of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) because lymph node biopsies often reveal the pathology findings seen in iMCD. However, its clinical manifestations and prognoses are not well documented. Since the clinical manifestations and prognoses of TAFRO syndrome differ significantly from those of iMCD, it is recognized as an independent disease concept and considered to partially overlap with the pathology of MCD. The pathogenesis of TAFRO syndrome remains largely unknown. Due to the lack of appropriate treatment, it often presents with multiple organ dysfunction and fatality. In this review, we summarized new findings on the pathogenesis of TAFRO syndrome and discussed current effective therapies and future treatment strategies.
