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

In children, the lupus anticoagulant (LA) is transiently produced after infection and rarely causes bleeding tendency, known as LA-hypoprothrombinemia syndrome (LAHPS). In this case report, we describe a child presenting with difficulty standing and walking after enterocolitis and complicated false coagulation abnormalities. Prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT); decreased factors II, VIII, IX, XI, and XII; and inhibitors for factors VIII and IX were detected. On the basis of such findings as inhibitor pattern in the APTT cross-mixing test and positivity for serum LA, LAHPS was diagnosed. Physicians should be aware of the interference by LA with phospholipid-based coagulation tests, leading to the misinterpretation of the unusual coagulation abnormalities in LAHPS.
