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: International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis guidelines for immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) treatment recommend concurrent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppressive therapy (IST), and caplacizumab. TPE can complicate antidrug antibody (ADA) measurements by transferring pre-existing antibodies (pre-Abs) into patients via donor plasma and/or diluting treatment-emergent (TE) ADAs. Objectives: To assess the presence of ADAs in patients with iTTP who received caplacizumab. Methods: Immunogenicity data from patients with iTTP receiving caplacizumab once daily plus TPE/immunosuppressive therapy in 4 clinical trials (TITAN, HERCULES, Post-HERCULES, and a trial conducted in Japanese patients) in the clinical development program were analyzed. ADA and modified ADA assays differentiated pre-Abs from TE ADAs. A functional neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay and a neutralizing epitope characterization assay (NECA) assessed the presence of ADAs with neutralizing potential. The impact of ADAs on efficacy, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and safety was evaluated. Results: Among 228 patients in 4 studies, prevalence of pre-Abs ranged from 17.1% (TITAN) to 56.7% (HERCULES), while TE ADA prevalence ranged from 3.1% (HERCULES) to 14.3% (Japanese study). The TE NAb-positive rate ranged from 0% (Japanese study) to 12% (Post-HERCULES) using the functional NAb assay and from 2.7% (Post- HERCULES) to 14.3% (Japanese study) using the NECA. The presence of these antibodies did not impact treatment efficacy or safety. Conclusion: A complex immunogenicity assay strategy was required to define the pre-Ab/TE ADA status of patients with iTTP treated with caplacizumab in a clinical trial setting. In addition to the wide range of pre-Abs observed, few patients had detectable TE ADAs or NAbs, neither of which affected efficacy/safety.
