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

To describe the prevalence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to explore ways to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the HIT enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Retrospective review of all patients needing ECMO between September 2011 and September 2020 who underwent evaluation for HIT while on ECMO. The diagnosis of HIT required a confirmatory serotonin release assay (SRA). Various break points for the optical density (OD) that defines a positive HIT ELISA were examined to estimate their utility as screening tests for HIT. Patient outcomes served as a secondary endpoint. Among 417 ECMO patients, 162 (38.8%) had a HIT ELISA. Of these, 114 (70.4%) had a subsequent SRA. Although the HIT ELISA was positive at an OD ≥ 0.4 in 1/3
