Low platelet count: Predictor of death and graft loss after liver transplantation.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThe impact of platelets on liver transplantation (LT) is well recognized, but not completely understood. Platelets exert dichotomous effects on the graft and on the patient. On the one hand, they are essential for primary hemostasis and tissue repair and regeneration. On the other hand, they support ischemia/reperfusion injury and inflammatory processes. Recent evidence has shown a new role for platelet count (PC) in predicting outcomes after LT.
aimTo evaluate if low PC is a predictor of short- and long-term outcomes after LT.
methodsFour hundred and eighty consecutive LT patients were retrospectively assessed. PC from the preoperative to the seventh postoperative day (POD) were considered. C-statistic analysis defined the ideal cutoff point for PC. Cox regression was performed to check whether low PC was a predictor of death, retransplantation or primary changes in graft function within one year after LT.
resultsThe highest median PC was 86 × 10
conclusionPC < 70 × 10
