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

Adult autoimmune haemolytic anaemias (AIHAs) include different subtypes of a rare autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies targeting autoantigens expressed on the membrane of autologous red blood cells (RBCs) are produced, leading to their accelerated destruction. In the presence of haemolytic anaemia, the direct antiglobulin test is the cornerstone of AIHA diagnosis. AIHAs are classified according to the isotype and the thermal optimum of the autoantibody into warm (wAIHAs), cold and mixed AIHAs. wAIHAs, the most frequent type of AIHAs, are associated with underlying conditions in ~50% of cases. In wAIHA, IgG autoantibody reacts with autologous RBCs at 37 °C, leading to antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and increased phagocytosis of RBCs in the spleen. Cold AIHAs include cold agglutinin disease (CAD) and cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS) when there is an underlying condition. CAD and cold agglutinin syndrome are IgM cold antibody-driven AIHAs characterized by classical complement pathway-mediated haemolysis. The management of wAIHAs has long been based around corticosteroids and splenectomy and on symptomatic measures and non-specific cytotoxic agents for CAD. Rituximab and the development of complement inhibitors, such as the anti-C1s antibody sutimlimab, have changed the therapeutic landscape of AIHAs, and new promising targeted therapies are under investigation.
