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: Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia and bleeding risk, and a subset of patients remains refractory or relapses despite multiple lines of therapy. Avatrombopag is an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist approved for adults with chronic ITP with insufficient response to prior treatment. We descrixbe a real-world single-center experience with avatrombopag in Oman. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of consecutive adults with chronic primary ITP treated with avatrombopag at a tertiary care center in Muscat, Oman. Patients initiated avatrombopag between September 2023 and June 2025 and were followed through October 2025. Platelet counts, treatment patterns, transfusion requirements, corticosteroid use, rescue therapies, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were abstracted from electronic medical records. Results: Twelve heavily pretreated patients were included, with a median baseline platelet count of 14.5 × 10 Conclusion: In chronic, heavily pretreated ITP, avatrombopag was associated with clinically meaningful platelet responses, substantial steroid-sparing, and an acceptable tolerability profile.
