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.

2 · The registry

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 medical condition characterized by a decreased activity of the ADAMTS13 protease for cleaving the von Willebrand factor. It contributes to thrombotic microangiopathy. In this report, we described a case of TTP followed by significant adverse effects during therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) treatment. The patient received TPE with a time interval from plasma transfusion. A 30-year-old female was evaluated for headaches and bruises on her arms and legs. Laboratory testing revealed thrombocytopenia and anemia. The identification of thrombocytopenia with severe schistocytosis was verified by the analysis of a peripheral blood smear. After confirming a diagnosis of TTP, TPE was performed as therapy. To avoid the complications arising during the previous TPE sessions, we conducted plasma exchange with albumin followed by FFP injection, with a six-hour interval between them. This strategy successfully alleviated the patient's symptoms. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with a time interval from plasma transfusion can be successfully used in patients with severe TPE complications.
