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.

Abstract

This phase II, multicenter, open-label, sequential-cohort, dose-escalation study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of romiplostim, a novel peptibody that increases platelet production, in Japanese patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Sequential cohorts of four patients each received romiplostim (1, 3, or 6 microg/kg) subcutaneously on days 1 and 8 of the dose-escalation phase. Patients who achieved platelet responses (doubling of baseline platelet counts to > or =50 x 10(9)/L) continued romiplostim weekly during the treatment-continuation phase. Romiplostim produced dose-dependent increases in mean and peak platelet counts. Five patients received romiplostim during the treatment-continuation phase, with platelet counts > or =50 x 10(9)/L maintained in approximately half of the weekly assessments. Romiplostim was well tolerated. No severe, serious, or life-threatening adverse events were reported. No binding antibodies to romiplostim or thrombopoietin were detected. Romiplostim is safe and well tolerated in Japanese patients with chronic ITP and is effective in producing platelet count increases, consistent with the results from studies in non-Japanese patients. On the basis of these findings, a starting dose of 3 microg/kg was recommended for phase III evaluation of romiplostim in Japanese patients with chronic ITP.
