Acquired Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Following Transaxillary Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Rare Life-Threatening Hematologic Emergency.

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.
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
Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare, life-threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Because early thrombocytopenia after TAVR is common and usually benign, iTTP may be overlooked. An 87-year-old man underwent successful transaxillary TAVR. His platelet count fell from 210 to 16×10³/µL within 72 hours, with hemoglobin declining from 9.5 to 6.8 g/dL. There were no bleeding, neurological, or renal manifestations. Laboratory findings were consistent with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and ADAMTS13 activity was <1% (French score 3), confirming iTTP. Treatment with plasma exchange, corticosteroids, caplacizumab, and rituximab led to rapid platelet recovery. The diagnosis of iTTP should be considered in patients presenting with unexplained thrombocytopenia and hemolysis after TAVR, even when asymptomatic. Early recognition and prompt initiation of therapy are essential to improve outcomes.
