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

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare immune mediated adverse drug reaction occurring after exposure to heparin. It is a serious and potentially fatal condition, which may be associated with the development of arterial or venous thrombotic events. Although known for many years, HIT is still often misdiagnosed. Pre- test clinical probability, screening for anti-PF4/heparin antibodies and documentation of their platelet activating capacity are the cornerstones of diagnosis. However, both clinical algorithms and test modalities have limited predictive values and limited diffusion so that the diagnosis and management is challenging in the clinical practice. For this reason, there is an unmet need for novel rational non-anticoagulant therapies based on the pathogenesis of HIT.The present paper reports the position of the Italian Society on Haemostasis and Thrombosis (SISET) in order to increase awareness of HIT among clinicians and other health care professionals and to provide information on the most appropriate management.
