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

Platelet cold agglutination (PCA) is a rare in-vitro phenomenon caused by Immunoglobulin M (IgM) autoantibodies, which results in Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) independent pseudo thrombocytopenia (PTCP). Its diagnosis is made based on the peripheral blood smear (PBS) examination and pre-test warming blood sample. Here, a case of PTCP secondary to PCA is presented. He was first admitted for pre-surgical tests but his platelet count was low. His blood was taken with EDTA and sodium citrate anticoagulant to rule pre-analytical error out. Then his sample warmed up and the test was run again with Mindray BC-6000 automated cell counter. Moreover, the rheumatologic tests were done for him. His platelet count was 23×10
