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

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of high-dose romiplostim (ROMI) combined with horse anti-thymocyte globulin (hATG) and cyclosporine A (CyA) as first-line immunosuppressive therapy for aplastic anemia (AA). We retrospectively analyzed eight patients who received hATG + CyA + ROMI at a single institution between October 2023 and January 2025. ROMI was initiated at 10 μg/kg/week and escalated to 20 μg/kg. Hematologic responses were evaluated at weeks 14 and 27. At week 27, the overall response rate was 100% and the complete response rate was 85.7%. Only one episode of grade ≥ 3 anaphylaxis attributed to hATG was observed. High-dose ROMI combined with hATG and CyA demonstrated favorable efficacy and tolerability as a first-line treatment for transfusion-dependent AA. However, larger prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.
