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

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a fulminant and rare variant of antiphospholipid syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive multiorgan thrombosis and a high mortality rate. Its diagnosis is often challenging due to overlapping clinical features with sepsis, thromboembolic disorders, and systemic autoimmune diseases. We report a rare and complex case of CAPS in a young woman with newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus, further complicated by a left atrial myxoma, which resulted in widespread arterial thrombosis, acute ischemic stroke, pulmonary involvement, and peripheral vascular occlusion. Early clinical suspicion, prompt immunomodulatory therapy, anticoagulation, and coordinated multidisciplinary care resulted in significant clinical and radiological improvement. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive treatment in CAPS, particularly when unusual thrombotic triggers coexist.
