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

backgroundElderly patients with transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia (TD-NSAA) face limited treatment options owing to transplantation incompatibility and safety concerns.

methodsData from older patients (≥60 years) newly diagnosed with TD-NSAA and had been treated with either avatrombopag (AVA) + cyclosporine (CsA) or CsA monotherapy at our center were retrospectively collected.

resultsIn total, 52 patients were enrolled, with 26 receiving AVA + CsA and 26 receiving CsA monotherapy. The overall response (OR) rate was higher in the AVA + CsA group than in the CsA group at the 1

conclusionsThe addition of AVA to CsA can significantly improve the OR or CR rate and platelet levels with acceptable side effects in elderly patients, which implies that the combination is a viable alternative for elderly patients with TD-NSAA.
