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.

Abstract

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) application is a novel treatment approach for primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ATRA in the treatment of ITP. The databases of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and China National Knowledge Internet were searched on August 5, 2022, to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies. Five observational studies and four RCTs from China were included, and 760 Chinese patients were analyzed. In the five observational studies, the pooled overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) were 59.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52.4-66.4%) and 20.6% (95% CI, 14.3-27.6%), respectively. In the selected four RCTs, the pooled odds ratios for sustained response rate, ORR, and CRR were 3.00 (95% CI, 1.97-4.57; P < 0.01), 3.21 (95% CI, 2.15-4.78; P < 0.01), and 2.12 (95% CI, 1.17-3.86; P = 0.01), respectively. ATRA was associated with a reduction in relapse rate and salvage treatment rate (odds ratio, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.18-0.50; P < 0.01; 0.36; 95% CI, 0.23-0.56; P < 0.01, respectively). The pooled odds ratios for grade 1-2 dry skin, headache (or dizziness), and rash acneiform were 49.99 (95% CI, 16.05-155.67; P < 0.01), 1.75 (95% CI, 0.98-3.12; P = 0.06), and 0.37 (95% CI, 0.10-1.34; P = 0.13), respectively. This study suggests that ATRA may significantly improve the initial and long-term response of patients with ITP.
