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

rationaleAcquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the development of autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Approximately 50% of cases are idiopathic, while the remaining are associated with autoimmune conditions, malignancies, or infections. To date, there have been no reported cases of AHA secondary to Flavobacterium odoratum (Frullania odoratum) infection. PATIENT CONCERNS: A male patient underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy with double-J stent placement. Postoperatively, he developed hematuria, a right medial thigh hematoma, fever, and abnormal coagulation parameters, including prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis of AHA was confirmed based on prolonged APTT, markedly reduced FVIII:C, and detection of a factor VIII inhibitor. Additionally, the patient had a complicated urinary tract infection caused by multidrug-resistant F.odoratum, which preceded the onset of AHA.

interventionsDoxycycline was administered to treat the catheter-associated urinary tract infection caused by F.odoratum. Hemostatic control was achieved with activated prothrombin complex concentrate. Immunosuppressive therapy for AHA included dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide. OUTCOMES: At discharge, bleeding had resolved, APTT normalized, FVIII activity returned to normal levels, the FVIII inhibitor was undetectable, and the infection was successfully controlled. LESSONS: AHA is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Early recognition, prompt treatment, and identification of underlying triggers are crucial to reducing mortality and improving outcomes. This is the first reported case of AHA associated with F. odoratum infection. Clinicians should consider this pathogen in patients with long-term indwelling urinary catheters who present with unexplained infections or bleeding diatheses.
