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

Background: Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare, life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy caused by severe Objectives: We assessed temporal trends in incidence, treatment strategies, and acute in-hospital outcomes of iTTP episodes at the population level in Germany from 2011 to 2021. Methods: This retrospective population-based cohort study used nationwide inpatient data from the German Federal Statistical Office. iTTP cases were identified by International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, coding combined with documentation of plasma exchange procedures. Trends were analyzed using linear regression. Results: A total of 2771 iTTP episodes were identified. Incidence of iTTP episodes increased from 2.36 to 3.48 per million inhabitants ( Conclusion: The incidence and severity of iTTP episodes have increased in Germany over the past decade, and treatment strategies have evolved. These findings warrant further research to optimize acute management and understand long-term outcomes.
