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

Introduction: Cytopenias occur frequently after kidney transplantation but posttransplantation thrombocytopenia (PTTCP) frequency has rarely been reported. Methods: This monocenter, retrospective study aimed to describe PTTCP frequency, causes, treatments and outcomes. PTTCP was defined as thrombocytopenia with ≥2 platelet counts <100×10 Results: Among 2118 kidney-transplant recipients between 2002 and 2018, 189 (8.9%) developed PTTCP. Their mean platelet-count nadir was 51×10 Conclusion: PTTCP is frequently associated with severe bleeding, which is a risk factor for graft loss and death. Those findings suggest that the risk/benefit ratio of antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapies should be systemically evaluated for PTTCP patients.
