Iron-Induced Thrombocytopenia: A Mini-Review of the Literature and Suggested Mechanisms.
Review in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Anemia constitutes a major global health burden, and iron deficiency is the most common cause of it. Iron deficiency and replacement affect not only hemoglobin (Hb) levels but also other hematological parameters such as platelet count. In this mini-review, we explore thrombocytopenia as a side effect of iron replacement therapy. We searched for relevant articles published in English, and all case reports/series of iron-induced thrombocytopenia were collected and analyzed. A total of 11 case reports and one case series were found relating to very low Hb at a baseline level of 5.25 +/- 2.2 g/dl and variable platelet count at baseline that dropped in 9 +/-3 days to an average of 121 +/- 112 x 10
