Romiplostim for the Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenia: Spotlight on Patient Acceptability and Ease of Use.
Review in Patient preference and adherence, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an immune-mediated disorder resulting in platelet destruction and subsequent thrombocytopenia. Bleeding symptoms range from mild cutaneous bleeding to life-threatening hemorrhage. Romiplostim, a peptide-antibody fusion product, is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) indicated for use in patients with ITP. Romiplostim is US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in children ≥1 year of age with ITP of >6 months' duration who have had an inadequate response to first-line therapies or splenectomy. FDA approval in adults with chronic ITP was expanded in October 2019 to include adults with newly diagnosed (<3 months' duration) and persistent (3-12 months' duration) ITP who demonstrated an inadequate response to first-line therapies, including corticosteroids and immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. The newly published 2019 American Society of Hematology ITP Guidelines place TPO-RAs, including romiplostim, as second-line therapies in both children and adults. Here, we review the use of romiplostim as second-line therapy with a spotlight on health-related quality of life, ease of use, and patient preference.
