Plexus Slim®-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a common cause of thrombocytopenia. Due to the many possible precipitating factors, the diagnostic approach can be complex in nature. Much of the published literature on drug-induced ITP (DITP) report on quinine-induced thrombocytopenia. Here we present a case of the proposed dietary cause of DITP by the weight loss supplement Plexus® which contains two potential thrombocytopenia-causing compounds, garcinia cambogia fruit extract, and chromium polynicotinate. This case highlights how a thorough patient history, including evaluation of supplement use and dietary habits, can be of the utmost importance in the workup of ITP.
