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

Background: There is evidence that patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are at increased risk of thrombosis. However, the association of clinical- and treatment-related factors with thrombosis remains controversial. Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and impact of risk factors for arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with ITP and characterize the clinical features and management of patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study (January 1, 2011, to October 30, 2022) of adult patients diagnosed with ITP from an Australian tertiary hospital. The incidence rates of thrombosis were calculated in terms of person-years of follow-up. Multiadjusted Cox regression was used to estimate associations. Results: A total of 220 patients with 1365 person-years of follow-up since ITP diagnosis revealed 26 (11.8%) patients with a total of 37 thrombosis events, 29 (78%) VTE and 8 (22%) arterial thromboembolism (ATE). The incidence rate of thrombosis was 2.71 (95% CI, 1.97-3.72) (0.66 [95% CI, 0.33-1.26] for arterial thromboembolism and 2.05 [95% CI, 1.42-2.95] for VTE) per 100 person-years. Mean age and median time to first thrombosis diagnosis was 56 and 2.13 years, respectively. Age, secondary ITP, lines of therapy, thrombosis risk factors, and thrombopoietin receptor agonist therapy were independently associated with thrombosis. Almost all patients (25 of 26, [96%]) had good ITP disease control prior to thrombosis diagnosis, and antithrombotic therapy was deliverable and well tolerated. Conclusion: Diagnosis of thrombosis in patients with ITP, while infrequent, is of clinical significance. We identified from a heterogeneous real-world cohort that older patients with multiply-treated secondary ITP receiving thrombopoietin receptor agonists are at the highest risk.
