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

Platelets are one of the important cells in the human blood that regulate the coagulation system. Abnormalities in platelets may lead to thrombosis or bleeding. Acute thrombocytopaenia carries a wide differential in a hospitalised patient, and drug-induced thrombocytopaenia is one of the uncommon findings. This case report describes teicoplanin-induced thrombocytopaenia in a patient who was being treated with this antibiotic and then developed thrombocytopaenia to a critically low level. This low level of platelets predisposes to bleeding, either minor or major. However, prompt recognition and stopping the offending drug reverse the process of ongoing thrombocytopaenia.
