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

MYH9-related disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by congenital macrothrombocytopenia, sensorineural hearing loss, and progressive kidney failure. Severe cases require kidney replacement therapy in the patient's second decade of life, and thrombocytopenia constitutes a major risk factor for hemorrhagic complications during dialysis initiation or kidney transplantation. Serious bleeding complications have been reported to occur in the perioperative period despite adequate platelet transfusions. Additionally, platelet transfusion may induce the production of anti-platelet antibodies and donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies. We report a case of a 19-year-old woman with MYH9-related disease due to an R702C missense variant in the motor domain of the MYH9 gene who used prophylactic eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, from 6 weeks before kidney transplantation. Before transplantation, her platelet count increased from 10 × 10
