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

Post-transfusion purpura (PTP) is a rare, often undiagnosed, complication associated with transfusion. It is caused by alloimmunization against platelet antigens, which leads to severe acute thrombocytopenia after the transfusion of any product containing platelets, such as red blood cells and platelet concentrates. Here, we present a case of post-transfusion purpura in a 63-year-old woman who developed acute postoperative thrombocytopenia 7 days after receiving a blood transfusion following knee replacement surgery. She was admitted to the intensive care unit with evidence of alveolar haemorrhage. This case study discusses the clinical presentation, diagnosis, laboratory tests, differential diagnosis and treatment with therapeutic plasma exchange, followed by intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids.
