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) is an autoimmune disorder. Besides platelet count, immature platelet fraction (IPF) can be used as a tool to predict megakaryocytic activity in ITP patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the utility of extended platelet indices in ITP diagnosis and their association with disease persistence and severity. This case-control study (1:1), conducted from January 2015 to December 2017, included 111 ITP patients and 111 healthy controls. ITP patients were grouped as newly diagnosed ITP, persistent ITP, chronic ITP, and refractory ITP patients. Peripheral blood was collected and complete blood profile parameters were recorded using Sysmex XN 1000. Significant (p≤0.05) difference between the groups of ITP patients and healthy control subjects was determined by Fisher exact test, while Pearson correlation was used to evaluate platelet count correlation with IPF using SPSS ver. 23. Low hemoglobin and platelet counts with high total leukocyte count and IPF were detected in ITP patients as compared to healthy subjects (p≤0.001). Among all groups of ITP patients, very low platelet count (6.9±6.02.x10
