Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in the Setting of Cirrhosis and Baseline Thrombocytopenia.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The management of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) has evolved significantly over the past several years. However, despite recent advances, there are limited tools available for patients with comorbidities that preclude either the utilization of available treatment modalities or evidence-based laboratory target levels. Literature to guide the management of such patients is sparse at best, and many complications associated with pre-existing comorbidities in the context of iTTP have not been reported. Here we describe the case of a patient with severe thrombocytopenia at baseline due to liver cirrhosis who developed iTTP. The challenges of the case in terms of pursuing disease-directed treatment, defining laboratory parameters to guide treatment, and mitigating the risks of bleeding and disease exacerbation are discussed. We offer our perspective in treating iTTP in the setting of severe baseline thrombocytopenia and high bleeding risk.
