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

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) constitutes a rare bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombotic events (TEs), and bone marrow aplasia of variable degrees. Thrombosis is one of the major clinical manifestations of the disease, affecting up to 40% of individuals with PNH. Venous thrombosis is more prevalent, affecting mainly unusual sites, such as intrabdominal and hepatic veins. TEs might be the first clinical manifestation of PNH. Complement activation, endothelial dysfunction, hemolysis, impaired bioavailability of nitric oxide, and activation of platelets and neutrophils are implicated in the pathogenesis of TEs in PNH patients. Moreover, a vicious cycle involving the coagulation cascade, complement system, and inflammation cytokines, such as interleukin-6, is established. Complement inhibitors, such as eculizumab and ravulizumab (C5 inhibitors), have revolutionized the care of patients with PNH. C5 inhibitors should be initiated in patients with PNH and thrombosis, while they constitute a great prophylactic measure for TEs in those individuals. Anticoagulants, such as warfarin and low-molecular-weight heparin, and, in selected cases, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) should be used in combination with C5 inhibitors in patients who develop TEs. Novel complement inhibitors are considered an alternative treatment option, especially for those who develop extravascular or breakthrough hemolysis when terminal inhibitors are administered.
