Update in the diagnosis of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy/atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

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
Complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (C-TMA), also referred to as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), is a rare but severe cause of microangiopathic hemolysis and organ injury. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology and new nomenclature distinguishing C-TMA (aHUS) from other TMAs, diagnosis remains difficult because there is no single definitive diagnostic test. This update focuses on emerging data for functional complement assays (eg, modified Ham assay and human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC-1) C5b-9 deposition assays) as adjunctive tests that may directly demonstrate complement hyperactivity in suspected C-TMA. A systematic diagnostic algorithm incorporating rapid exclusion of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli-HUS, careful evaluation of secondary causes, and integration of genetic and functional testing may improve diagnostic accuracy and guide the prompt use of targeted complement inhibitors.
