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

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), also known as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, is a hematological disorder characterized by a decreased platelet count, predisposing patients to bleeding. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been linked to multiple cases of newly diagnosed ITP and is usually found in moderate-to-severe infections, peaking in children and elderly adults. Menorrhagia is the medical term for menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding occurring at regular intervals or prolonged uterine bleeding lasting more than seven days. Here, we report the case of a 23-year-old African American female who presented with the chief complaint of menorrhagia and was subsequently diagnosed as having ITP induced by an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.
