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

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) generally occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and has a high mortality rate. However, TA-TMA after autologous HSCT is rare. In particular, there are almost no accurate reports of TA-TMA after autologous HSCT in adults. Furthermore, there are no reports of such patients being treated with complement-targeting agents, including eculizumab. We report the first adult case of TA-TMA after autologous HSCT treated with eculizumab. A 66-year-old woman in complete remission after the second relapse of follicular lymphoma received autologous HSCT following the MEAM regimen (ranimustine [MCNU], etoposide, cytarabine [Ara-C], and melphalan). Trilineage engraftment was confirmed. However, she developed new-onset hypertension, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure. The screening results were notable for normal coagulation, normal ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitor levels, and negative direct and indirect Coombs tests. No variants appeared in complement regulatory genes such as
