A Case of Acute Kidney Injury During Eltrombopag Use Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange in Addition to Antithrombotic Therapy.

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.
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
Eltrombopag (EPAG), a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, has emerged as a valuable option for the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura. However, its use has raised concerns regarding thrombotic complications. Herein, we present a case involving a 60-year-old woman with immune thrombocytopenic purpura and underlying antiphospholipid antibody syndrome who developed abdominal pain and acute kidney injury shortly after initiating EPAG therapy. Kidney histopathology revealed thrombi in the afferent glomerular arterioles, suggesting a link between EPAG and thrombotic events. Despite EPAG discontinuation, the patient's kidney function deteriorated, necessitating hemodialysis. As an additional treatment, plasma exchange (PE) was performed to remove EPAG. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed a reduction in the EPAG concentration after PE, indicating partial removal. The patient's kidney function gradually improved, and hemodialysis was successfully discontinued. The findings from this case suggest that thrombotic complications should be considered when administering EPAG to patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. PE may be a useful treatment option if thrombosis is induced by EPAG.
