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

Severe thrombocytopenia with impairment of the activity of platelets and impairment of blood clotting occurs in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Continuation of dual antiplatelet therapy in such patients can result in life-threatening hemorrhages. On the other hand, withholding of antiplatelets in a patient undergone coronary stenting lately can lead to stent thrombosis, resulting in myocardial infarctions and sudden cardiac death. There are no guidelines on management of DHF in patients with coronary stents. Here, we discuss about several divergent factors that need to be considered and balanced when managing such patients. We describe a case as an example to illustrate how we balanced the risk of serious bleeding versus the risk of stent thrombosis successfully according to evolution of the disease process, by temporary withholding of antiplatelets in such a patient.
