Life-Threatening Severe Thrombocytopenia and Mild Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Associated with Brucellosis.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Methods: We report the case of a 73-year-old Saudi female who presented with severe thrombocytopenia and mild autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with brucellosis. The coexistence of published cases of two hematological disorders with brucellosis is rare. Results: Despite the initial treatment with eltrombopag and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), our patient's platelets count remained low and significantly improved after initiation of brucellosis treatment in the form of rifampicin and doxycycline. Conclusion: This is our region's first published case of severe thrombocytopenia and mild autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with brucellosis. It contributes to the literature on the successful use of rifampicin and doxycycline to treat hematological disorders associated with brucellosis.
