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

introductionAplastic anemia (AA) is characterized by bone marrow failure and cytopenia. Eltrombopag (ELT) is effective and safe for treating refractory/relapsed AA; however, reports on the long-term outcomes of transfusion-dependent non-severe AA (TD-NSAA) are limited.

methodsPatients with TD-NSAA refractory to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) or relapsed after IST, treated with ELT alone, and followed up for at least 12 months were retrospectively enrolled. The baseline characteristics of patients, efficacy and adverse effects of ELT, and relapse and clone evolution rates after ELT were documented.

resultsOf the 55 patients with TD-NSAA included, 24 (43.6%) were men. Median age at diagnosis was 46 (19-80) years. Twenty-four patients had relapsed TD-NSAA, and 31 patients had refractory TD-NSAA. During the median follow-up period of 28 (12-48) months, the overall and complete response rates at 3, 6, and 12 months of ELT treatment were 38.2, 60.0, and 52.7 and 9.1, 14.6, and 9.1%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 28 (12-48) months, 21.2% (7/33) of patients experienced relapse, with a median duration from ELT treatment to relapse of 14 (6-45) months.

conclusionELT was effective in patients with relapsed/refractory TD-NSAA, with tolerable adverse effects.
