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

Introduction: Ravulizumab replaced eculizumab as the preferred complement inhibitor for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH) in Denmark and Finland after 2020. Data on real-world disease activity after switching are limited. Methods: We conducted a case series of 20 PNH patients who transitioned from eculizumab to ravulizumab, assessing transfusion needs and breakthrough haemolysis episodes (BTH). Results: In 19 of 20 patients, transfusions and BTH were stable or reduced after switching. Particularly, patients with high transfusion or BTH burden had a marked reduction in these parameters after switching. Conclusion: Overall, ravulizumab provided comparable or improved disease control, supporting its use as a long-term treatment in PNH. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
