Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis Masquerading as Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and leukocytoclastic vasculitis can present in a similar fashion and can be very hard to differentiate clinically without a biopsy. This can cause diagnostic dilemma and delay in management. A thorough evaluation is recommended to determine etiology, although about half are idiopathic. Case Presentation: A patient aged 79 years with longstanding thrombocytopenia secondary to chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura presented with a rash. Although it was thought to be secondary to idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a biopsy revealed presence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Conclusions: Although most leukocytoclastic vasculitis cases are mild and resolve without intervention, many go undiagnosed due to biopsy delays. Health care professionals should determine and treat the underlying cause.
