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

Background: Thrombocytosis (>500 × 10 Objectives: To define thrombocytosis and EXT rates, etiologies, and sequelae among infants hospitalized in tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to assist clinical decision making and determine factors that associate with thrombocytosis risk in preterm and full-term patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of thrombocytosis and EXT cases among 20,818 infants hospitalized in 2 tertiary NICUs from 2011 to 2023, compared to 10,323 patients hospitalized at a quaternary NICU. Results: Our results revealed thrombocytosis in 3% of all patients (8% of preterm infants). Both estimates were significantly lower than the incidence of thrombocytosis in quaternary NICU patients (20%). EXT was also reduced in our tertiary unit (0.08% vs 0.5% in quaternary NICU). Thrombocytosis was associated with leukocytosis and relative anemia, but not with thrombotic or bleeding complications. Thyroid hormone, liver-derived thrombopoietin, and vitamin D deficiency can drive thrombocytosis in adults. Vitamin D level, but not thyroid hormone or liver function, was inversely correlated with platelet count among infants with thrombocytosis. Conclusions: Inflammation, anemia, and vitamin D level correlate with infant thrombocytosis and EXT. Liver and thyroid immaturity do not appear to impact thrombocytosis risk. There were no thrombotic complications associated with EXT. These results provide important context for interpreting the origins and appropriate clinical responses to thrombocytosis in preterm infants.
