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

Background: Thrombotic events (TEs) account for approximately 40%-67% of deaths in untreated paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). C5 inhibitor treatment (e.g., eculizumab and ravulizumab) greatly reduces the incidence of TEs in patients with PNH, but data on the characteristics of PNH patients experiencing TEs are limited. Methods: This post-marketing surveillance sub-analysis evaluated the incidence of TEs in patients with PNH in Japan. Results: During eculizumab treatment, 54 TEs occurred in 44/794 patients (5.5%), an incidence of 1.50/100 patient-years. The most frequent TEs were deep vein thrombosis and cerebral infarction (eight events [14.8%]). A history of TE before eculizumab treatment was associated with TE during eculizumab treatment ( Conclusion: Eculizumab helps prevent TEs in PNH. TE events appear to be associated with higher LDH levels, infections and long dosing intervals. Concurrent antithrombotic agent use to prevent TEs in PNH is likely clinically useful, especially in patients with a history of TE. Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.
