Association between basal platelet count and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure: a secondary analysis from the eICU collaborative research database.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEvidence regarding the correlation between platelet count and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) is limited. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate whether platelet count was associated with all-cause mortality in critical patients with ARF by using the electronic intensive care unit (eICU) Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD).
methodsIn this retrospective multicenter cohort study, the data of 26961 patients with ARF hospitalized in ICUs between 2014 and 2015 were collected. The independent variable was log2 basal platelet count, and the dependent variables were all-cause in-hospital and ICU mortality. Covariates including demographic data, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) IV score, supportive treatment, and comorbidities were collected.
resultsIn the fully adjusted model, log2 basal platelet count was negatively associated with all-cause mortality both in hospital [RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.84-0.91] and in ICU [RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.83-0.92]. A non-linear relationship between log2 basal platelet count and all-cause in-hospital and ICU mortality was identified by the nonlinearity test. The inflection points we got were 6.83 and 6.86 respectively (after inverse log2 logarithmic conversion, the platelet counts were 114×10
conclusionsFor patients with ARF in ICU, platelet count was negatively associated with all-cause in-hospital and ICU mortality when the platelet count was less than 114×10
