Routine funduscopy in immune thrombocytopenic purpura-is it really necessary?
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common cause of symptomatic thrombocytopenia in children, most of whom present with cutaneous and mucosal bleeding. Complications, such as intracranial hemorrhage and occult hemorrhage from various sites, are rare, and retinal hemorrhage is exceptionally rare. Our institutional clinical practice guidelines for managing ITP in the pediatric emergency department (PED) include routine funduscopy. The aim of this retrospective case series is to provide evidence-based recommendations for a tertiary care PED work-up of ITP, with special emphasis on the guidelines for funduscopy. The medical records of all pediatric patients diagnosed with ITP over a 4-year period (2013-2016) who had a platelet count < 50,000/mm
