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

Secondary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as a paraneoplastic syndrome has been reported in literature. It is commonly associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and hodgkins lymphoma. Its association with solid malignancies, especially renal cell cancer is rare, with only a few documented case reports. Treatment usually consisted of targeting the underlying malignancy or utilization of steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to improve thrombocytopenia. Here, we describe a case of a 75-year-old man with renal cell cancer (RCC), who presented with secondary thrombocytopenia treated with steroid and IVIG. It is important to keep RCC in differential diagnosis for causes for secondary ITP as this impacts treatment.
