Key Issues at the Forefront of Diagnosis and Testing for Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

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
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antiphospholipid antibodies associated with thrombosis and pregnancy complications. Catastrophic APS is a severe form involving multiple organ systems with a high mortality rate. The pathogenesis involves antiphospholipid antibodies which target phospholipid-binding proteins and damage endothelial cells thus activating coagulation, triggering a pro-thrombotic state. Laboratory tests for antiphospholipid antibody detection include lupus anticoagulant testing in the coagulation laboratory and serological detection of anticardiolipin and anti-beta 2 glycoprotein I antibodies. Despite recent updates in the diagnostic criteria for APS the recent decades and our improved knowledge of this disease, there remain several key issues pertaining to diagnosis and testing with potential implications to patient management. Here we briefly review APS pathophysiology, strengths and weaknesses of classification criteria, laboratory challenges leading to test interpretation, and clinical management of this complex condition.
