Thrombopoietin receptor agonist discontinuation rates and reasons among patients with immune thrombocytopenia: a study of administrative claims linked with medical chart review.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2022. 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
Administrative claims provide a rich data source for retrospective studies of real-world clinical practice, yet some important data may be inconsistent or unavailable. This study explored factors influencing discontinuation of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) among patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), by adding medical chart abstraction for additional details. Adult (≥ 18 years) patients with continuous commercial or Medicare Advantage with Part D health insurance coverage were included. Inclusion criteria were ≥ 1 claim for eltrombopag or romiplostim and ≥ 2 diagnoses of ITP between December 31, 2017, and January 1, 2020. Providers were asked to provide access to medical charts for abstraction. The analyses included only patients who discontinued TPO-RA and described patient characteristics, treatment patterns, platelet values, and reasons for discontinuation. Among 207 ITP patients treated with a TPO-RA, 137 (66%) discontinued treatment during the observation period. The mean TPO-RA treatment duration was 185 days. Mean platelet count at the time of discontinuation was 197 × 10
