Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Thrombocytopenia in Older Medical Inpatients: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Hematology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150 × 10
methodsA 2-year prospective cohort study with a 3-year follow-up was conducted on inpatients aged ≥65 years admitted to a medical ward. Clinical data were collected, including demographics, comorbidities, laboratory results, and outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis assessed risk factors associated with non-resolution of thrombocytopenia and mortality.
resultsThe study included 961 older inpatients with a mean age of 82 years. Thrombocytopenia occurred in 22.6% of the study population. The most common causes were infections (57.4%) and drug-induced thrombocytopenia (25.3%). The non-resolution of thrombocytopenia was noted in 59% of patients. In-hospital and 3-year mortality was significantly higher in this subgroup compared to the rest (24.5% vs. 12.7%,
conclusionsThrombocytopenia in older medical inpatients is associated with poor prognosis, particularly in those with non-resolution thrombocytopenia. Early identification and targeted management may improve outcomes.
