Thrombocytosis in children.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the frequency and causes of thrombocytosis in patients admitted to the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology of Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital, Elazig, Turkey.
methodsBetween 2019 and 2021, the laboratory parameters of 2,500 patients admitted to the Hematology Department were studied. During this examination, 319 (12.76%) patients were found to have thrombocytosis. Demographic characteristics (age and gender), hematologic parameters (hemoglobin, white blood cells, and platelets), and ultimate diagnoses ot the cases were recorded from their files.
resultsOf these 319 patients with thrombocytosis, 197 (1.8%) were male and 122 (38.2%) were female, and the mean age was 72.0±69.0 (1-216) months. The median platelet count of the patients was 590.43±280.12/μL (450,000-750,000). The most common cause of secondary thrombocytosis was infection, accounting for 37.9% of all patients. Other common causes were sickle cell anemia (21%), iron deficiency anemia (15.4%), colloid tissue disease (6.6%), hemolytic anemia (5.0%), splenectomy (4.5%), and other causes (9.7%).
conclusionIn our study, infections were the most common cause of thrombocytosis. In addition to infections, sickle cell anemia and iron deficiency anemia should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytosis.
