Safety of romiplostim administered immediately after cord-blood transplantation: a phase 1 trial.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Graft failure and delayed hematopoietic recovery are the major limitations of cord-blood transplantation (CBT). Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist, promotes megakaryopoiesis and multilineage hematopoiesis in aplastic anemia. The decreased number of hematopoietic stem cells in the early phase after CBT and aplastic anemia share certain characteristics. Therefore, we hypothesized that romiplostim administration immediately after CBT may promote multilineage hematopoietic recovery. We investigated the safety and preliminary efficacy of administering romiplostim a day after CBT. This phase 1 dose-escalation study included six adults with hematologic malignancies in remission. Romiplostim was administered subcutaneously within 7 days after single-unit CBT, initially at doses of 5 µg/kg or 10 µg/kg in three patients, then once a week for 14 weeks or until platelet recovery. The maximum dose was 20 µg/kg. The median number of romiplostim administrations was 6 (range, 3-15). Romiplostim-related adverse events included bone pain (3/6) and injection site reaction (1/6). Non-hematological grade ≥ 3 toxicities were observed in four patients; febrile neutropenia was the most common (4/6). All patients achieved neutrophil engraftment and the median time was 14 days (range, 12-32). Platelet counts ≥ 50 × 10
