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

Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AAMT) is a rare disorder of the bone marrow characterized by a lack of megakaryocytes and preservation of other cell lines. It can occur due to an intrinsic stem cell defect or secondary to viral infections, autoimmune disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders or environmental toxins. With time, it can progress to aplastic anaemia (AA) and can have a poor prognosis. No standard guidelines exist for the treatment of AAMT progressing to AA. Herein, we report a rare case of AAMT leading to AA and review the handful of cases previously published in the literature. LEARNING POINTS: Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia can present as isolated severe thrombocytopenia which can initially be misdiagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia.Lack of response to steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin should raise suspicion for acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia.Over time, acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia can progress to aplastic anaemia, which confers a worse prognosis.
