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.

2 · The registry

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

Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is a common complication of antineoplastic therapy, resulting in antineoplastic therapy dose reductions, treatment delays, treatment discontinuation, and morbid bleeding events. Despite several decades of research into thrombopoietic growth factors in CIT, there are presently no available U.S. FDA- or EMA-approved agents to treat CIT. However, a respectable body of evidence has been published evaluating the thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) for the management and prevention of CIT in patients with solid tumors, and critical studies are ongoing with the TPO-RAs romiplostim and avatrombopag. When employed in the appropriate patient population and used properly, TPO-RAs can successfully and safely manage CIT for extended periods of time with minimal apparent risks. This comprehensive review discusses the evidence for TPO-RAs in CIT in patients with solid tumors, provides detailed guidance for their use in the clinic, and discusses ongoing essential clinical trials in management of CIT.
