Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Incidence, and Mortality.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating complication of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Using a large database, we sought to determine its incidence and mortality.
methodsWe used a de-identified database (TriNetX) to gather information on patients with ITP with subsequent ICH (cohort 1), propensity score-matched with patients with ITP and no ICH (cohort 2). Primary endpoint was mortality, with secondary endpoints of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement, craniotomy, palliative care encounters, intensive care unit (ICU) management, seizure, falls, pulmonary embolism (PE), myocardial infarction (MI), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), ischemic stroke (IS), and other venous embolism and thrombosis (VTE).
resultsIncidence of ICH in patients with ITP was 1.540% in all ages, and 0.774% in those under age 18. After matching, 942 patients from each cohort were identified. Mean age was 58.3 years versus 61.2 years in cohort 1 and 2, respectively. Mortality rate was 34.076% vs. 20.17% (p <0.0001, OR 2.046 with 95% CI 1.661,2.520) at five years. Thirty-day survival was 83.46% vs. 95.17% (p<0.0001), and 365-day survival 68.59% vs. 85.33% (p<0.0001). PEG placement was seen in 21 (2.229%) patients in cohort 1, and less than 10 patients (<1.062%) in cohort 2 (p<0.0464). 2.442% vs. 0% underwent craniotomy (p<0.0001), palliative care was involved in 15.711% vs. 7.962% (p<0.0001), ICU care was seen in 27.389% vs. 11.783% (p<0.0001), with a mean ICU stay of 8.075 vs. 5.812 days (p=0.0537). 6.582% vs. 3.715% had PE (p=0.0049), 7.643% vs. 7.113% experienced MI (p=0.6595), 9.236% vs. 4.883% had DVTs (p=0.0002), 23.673% vs. 5.732% had seizures (p<0.0001), 9.023% vs. 6.582% suffered falls (p=0.0482), 7.537% vs. 3.503% suffered IS (p<0.0001), and 15.074% vs. 8.174% experienced other VTE (p<0.0001).
conclusionICH occurs in approximately 1.54% of ITP patients, and is associated with a 34% mortality rate, increased PEG tube placement rates, palliative care involvement, ICU care, craniotomy, PE, IS, DVT, seizures, and falls.
