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

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DITP) is suggested by severe thrombocytopenia with subsequent recovery of platelet count after removal of the offending drug. The diagnosis is ascertained when there is reproducibility of thrombocytopenia with repeated exposure. Filgrastim is used during peripheral blood progenitor cell harvest during autologous stem cell transplantation in the setting of multiple myeloma to prolong event-free survival and overall mortality. The following case illustrates all of the suggestive features of DITP after filgrastim exposure during elective stem cell harvest. Due to the inability to tolerate filgrastim, autologous stem cell transplant was aborted in this patient and he was maintained on induction chemotherapy.
