Acute profound thrombocytopenia secondary to local abciximab infusion.

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
Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists are powerful antiplatelet agents that are typically used in percutaneous coronary intervention. All three GP IIb/IIIa agents currently approved for use in the United States cause thrombocytopenia as a rare side effect. Abciximab is unique to the class in that it is a modified monoclonal antibody to the GP IIb/IIIa receptor, a property that can lead to increased platelet destruction. Presented herein is a patient who received a local infusion of abciximab for a lower-extremity thrombus and within 2 hours developed an acute profound thrombocytopenia that likely caused a large retroperitoneal hematoma. This case demonstrates the importance of checking platelet count within 2 to 4 hours after local (in addition to systemic) abciximab administration. Additionally, this report outlines how other causes of acute precipitous platelet drops, such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and pseudothrombocytopenia, can be rapidly excluded and allow for the prompt initiation of optimal therapy to minimize bleeding.
