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: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease, and rituximab (RTX) induces long-term effect as second-line treatments. Zuberitamab is an innovative anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, which was first developed in China and launched in diffuse large B lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate the safety, efficacy, and anticipated therapeutic dose of zuberitamab in Chinese ITP patients. Methods: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study was conducted at 26 hospitals in China. Eligible patients were aged 18-70 years, had primary immune thrombocytopenia for more than 6 months, and did not respond or relapsed after previous treatment and had a pre-treatment platelet count of <30 × 10 Findings: From October 2021 to March 2023, 50 patients were screened for eligibility, of whom 32 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to placebo (n = 4), zuberitamab 100 mg (n = 10), 300 mg (n = 8) and 600 mg (n = 10) groups. The primary endpoint (PLT ≥50 × 10 Interpretation: This study preliminarily confirmed that 100 mg zuberitamab was safe and effective in treating ITP and was recommended to support further investigation.
