Review in Journal of blood medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04949009 (Avatrombopag in the Treatment of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Avatrombopag is an orally-administered small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It was the third thrombopoietin receptor agonist approved for the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia and the first approved to treat periprocedural thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic liver disease (thereby providing an alternative to blood transfusions for these patients). Unlike eltrombopag, avatrombopag does not require a 4 hr food-restricted window around its use and it has not been associated with hepatotoxicity in ITP patients or portal vein thrombosis in patients with chronic liver disease. In ITP patients it can often be dosed less frequently than once daily. It is overall well-tolerated with a side-effect profile similar to placebo in randomized clinical trials. This article will review the clinical development, efficacy, safety, and pharmacology of avatrombopag for use in patients with ITP and thrombocytopenia of chronic liver disease.
