Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Following COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has been described following both coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and COVID-19 vaccination. ITP is a challenging diagnosis of exclusion, and the pathophysiology of these complications is not well understood but believed to be autoimmune in nature. We describe a severe case of ITP following COVID-19 infection in a patient without a history of hematologic or autoimmune disease and his subsequent uneventful course following COVID-19 vaccination. The current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory does not identify a history of ITP as a contraindication to COVID-19 vaccination. We compare our study, which describes an uneventful COVID-19 vaccination course with cases that have described recurrences and relapses of ITP following both COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination. These reports suggest that the placement of some patients into a unique subset among all patients with ITP may be prudent with regard to future COVID-19 vaccination. Through a literature review, we discuss a broader picture of how COVID-19 infection-associated ITP may differ from COVID-19 mRNA vaccination-associated ITP in its demographics, etiology, and outcomes.
