Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Immune Thrombocytopenia: A Report of Five Cases and a Review of the Literature.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) complicated with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) by analyzing the clinical characteristics of five such patients.
methodsThis paper summarizes the clinical manifestations and hematological indexes of five patients with ITP complicated with pulmonary embolism.
resultsIn this study, the incidence of ITP complicated with PTE was 2.75%. All five cases were elderly patients with nonspecific clinical manifestations. Platelet counts were different when PTE occurred. The time from the diagnosis of ITP to the occurrence of PTE was from 5 to 24 months, with an average of 12.8 months. There was no significant change in hemoglobin, white blood cell levels, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen levels, or the international normalized ratio. Four patients had significantly increased D-dimer levels, while D-dimer was only slightly increased in one patient. Antithrombin (AT) was significantly decreased in four cases (less than 70%), and C-reactive protein (CRP) was increased in all five cases.
conclusionPTE may be related to AT and CRP in patients with ITP, which is of great clinical significance to the diagnosis and treatment of ITP complicated with PTE.
