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

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome. HLH can occur as a primary (familial) or secondary (acquired) disorder. Secondary HLH (sHLH) manifests in response to infection, malignancy, autoimmune disorders or drugs. Presentation is usually non-specific, with fever, cytopenias, elevated inflammatory markers and hepatosplenomegaly. A high level of suspicion coupled with the use of diagnostic scores (HScore and HLH-2004) is required for timely diagnosis. Specific studies such as bone marrow biopsy or soluble interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (CD25) levels are necessary for distinguishing HLH from other conditions, but should not delay treatment. Corticosteroids, in addition to other immunossupressants, should be initiated promptly in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. In secondary cases, treatment of underlying causes is necessary for complete remission. Long-term immunossupression may be required beyond resolution of the HLH trigger to avoid relapses. We report a case of severe acute HLH in a patient with distributive and cardiogenic shock and multiorgan dysfunction. The patient was successfully treated with CytoSorb
