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

Several lines of therapy have been established for patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Evans syndrome. However, these therapies generally require prolonged administration, lead to profound immunosuppression and increased infectious risk, and are often poorly tolerated. While most patients with these disorders will respond to first-line steroid therapy, others will prove refractory or intolerant to multiple treatments. In these patients (and possibly even selected patients who are not considered refractory), autologous or allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) may provide definitive therapy. We review the literature on the treatment of ITP and Evans syndrome with HCT and discuss its use in the management of these disorders. We also pose, for the purpose of discussion, research questions that will be important to address if HCT is to be considered a viable option for more patients with these diseases.
