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

Thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis on bone marrow biopsy/renal dysfunction, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome are infrequent conditions with diverse clinical and pathological characteristics related to multi-organ damage. There are few reports of TAFRO syndrome accompanied by liver damage with hyperbilirubinemia. We describe the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with sudden onset abdominal pain accompanied by liver damage with hyperbilirubinemia. His symptoms worsened, leading to fever, hepatic insufficiency, serous cavity effusions, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Fever and anasarca relapsed after steroid discontinuation. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome by biopsies taken from the axillary lymph nodes. He was then administered steroids, which resolved his symptoms almost completely. Our case was notable for its atypical signs and total remission of TAFRO syndrome.
