COVID-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Case Report and Treatment-Focused Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disease that is part of a vast spectrum of thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs). Despite the rarity of TTP, clinicians must maintain a high suspicion of this disease. The condition is characterized by fever, low platelets, hemolytic anemia, renal abnormalities, and neurological dysfunction. However, all these symptoms are not necessarily present in all the patients. In this review, we describe a case of a 51-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) with chief complaints of dizziness and lightheadedness, subsequently leading to a diagnosis of TTP, caused as a result of COVID-19. This review raises awareness so that there is early recognition of any hematological manifestations associated with COVID-19, reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Due to the unpredictability of COVID-19 and its complications, robust research is needed to understand the mechanism and determine which patients are more at risk for adverse outcomes.
