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

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a life-threatening condition where an accurate initial assessment is essential to be able to offer the proper therapy in a timely matter to improve the outcome of the patient. Here, we present a case of ITP secondary to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (BioNTech, Pfizer vaccine). A 61-year-old obese African American female presented to the emergency room (ER) from a clinic with a platelet count of 11k/ul 21 days after she received the second dose of the BioNTech, Pfizer vaccine. The patient was immediately started on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 1g/kg twice daily (bid) and dexamethasone 20 mg IV every 12 hrs (q12h). The next day, the platelet count increased to 63 k/ul, and after the second dose of IVIG, the platelet count improved to 122 k/ul and trended up. The early detection of ITP induced by the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is determinant to guide the early and proper therapy with immunoglobulins and steroids to improve the outcome of our patients.
