The Safety of Endoscopic Procedures in Patients With Thrombocytopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
Endoscopic procedures are essential in gastroenterology but pose significant risks for thrombocytopenic patients who have lower platelet counts, increasing the likelihood of bleeding complications. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to assess bleeding risks in thrombocytopenic patients undergoing various endoscopic procedures. A comprehensive search was conducted across databases like PubMed, MEDLINE, and EBSCO, using stringent criteria for inclusion and exclusion, with study quality assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and thrombocytopenia severity classified by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria. Statistical analysis focused on bleeding event incidence rates at different platelet count thresholds, utilizing RevMan Web (Cochrane, London, UK) and Excel (Microsoft® Corp., Redmond, WA). The search yielded 1,675 potential articles, but only three retrospective cohort studies were selected. Results showed a significant increase in bleeding risk for patients with platelet counts below 50,000/mm
