Fundamental concepts in the pathobiology of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Review in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is among the most common causes of drug-related immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. It is a unique syndrome, in that despite the fact that thrombocyto-penia is the major laboratory manifestation of HIT, its major complication is a highly morbid (and commonly fatal) thrombotic diathesis, known as the HIT with thrombosis syndrome (HITTS). The pathogenesis of HIT and HITTS has been recently elucidated, and involves an immune response against epitopes within circulating heparin-platelet factor-4 (PF4) complexes. This leads to cross-linking and activation of platelets, increasing the risk for thromboses. Furthermore, significant immunological cross-reactivity occurs between endothelial-cell bound PF4 and the HIT antibody, which may lead to endothelial damage, activation, and hyperplasia. This complex process leads to a hypercoagulable state, which may lead to overt thromboses.
