Acute on Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia as a Cause of Thrombocytopenia in Sepsis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a diagnosis of exclusion and can be challenging at times to make the diagnosis. We herein present a case of a 73-year-old male with a history of chronic ITP, who presented to the hospital with sepsis and developed thrombocytopenia. His thrombocytopenia did not improve with resolution of sepsis but improved with ITP treatment including immunoglobulins and steroids. Platelet-associated IgG antibody levels are inversely proportional to platelet counts. The antibody levels are increased in sepsis. We would like to highlight that other causes of thrombocytopenia should also be considered in sepsis.
