Low-Dose Eltrombopag in a Patient with Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Post Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a disease in which the immune system attacks platelets and causes decrease in its number exposing the patient to risk of bleeding. It is diagnosed by exclusion. Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist which is used as second-line treatment for patients with ITP. The usual starting dose is 25 mg daily and maintenance dose is 75 mg daily. Little is known about the dose of eltrombopag in patients with sleeve gastrectomy since reduction in the amount of functioning gastrointestinal tract after gastric bypass surgery leads to decreased time to drug absorption and reduced drug bioavailability. Here we are reporting a 46-year-old female with ITP and sleeve gastrectomy who responded to low-dose eltrombopag 25 mg every other day, which is equivalent to 12.5 mg daily, and maintained adequate platelet counts on this dose.
