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: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly recognized in hematology, yet clinician awareness remains limited. In immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), an autoimmune disease, symptoms like fatigue impact quality of life (QoL). Design and Methods: This Italian survey evaluated hematologists' knowledge of PROs within the Italian ITP NET network. Between April 4-20, 2023, 63 hematologists from 49 centers were invited to complete a 63-item online questionnaire on demographics, QoL understanding, and attitudes toward clinical use. Results: Thirty-nine responded, treating a median of 50 ITP patients in the prior year. PROs were used in research by 51% and applied clinically by 56%. Greater PRO knowledge was found among hematologists with over 17 years' experience (72%) and extensive ITP exposure (64%) (p=0.033 and p=0.037). Larger centers reported more trial involvement (p=0.035) and regular QoL tool use. Conclusion: Results highlight knowledge gaps and emphasize how clinical experience and exposure support effective PRO implementation in ITP.
