Long-term eltrombopag for bone marrow failure depletes iron.
Article in American journal of hematology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Eltrombopag (EPAG) has been approved for the treatment of aplastic anemia and for immune thrombocytopenia, and a subset of patients require long-term therapy. Due to polyvalent cation chelation, prolonged therapy leads to previously underappreciated iron depletion. We conducted a retrospective review of patients treated at the NIH for aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and unilineage cytopenias, comparing those treated with EPAG to a historical cohort treated with immunosuppression without EPAG. We examined iron parameters, duration of therapy, response assessment, relapse rates, and common demographic parameters. We included 521 subjects treated with (n = 315) or without EPAG (n = 206) across 11 studies with multiyear follow-up (3.6 vs. 8.5 years, respectively). Duration of EPAG exposure correlated with ferritin reduction (p = 4 × 10
