Thromboembolic adverse events associated with TPO-RA in ITP treatment: a pharmacovigilance analysis of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) are widely used for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but their post-marketing thromboembolic safety profiles and onset patterns remain incompletely characterized. Methods: FAERS reports from January 2009 to December 2024 were cleaned to remove duplicates and non-suspected roles, yielding 2,092 unique thromboembolic AE cases. TPO-RA exposure was identified by generic and brand names. Disproportionality analyses employed reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN). Time-to-onset analysis and logistic regression (univariate and multivariate) examined demographic and treatment factors. Results: Avatrombopag, Eltrombopag, and Romiplostim yielded 105, 1,044, and 943 thromboembolic AE reports, respectively. Pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and portal vein thrombosis predominated with Avatrombopag; Eltrombopag and Romiplostim were mainly associated with pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and acute myocardial infarction. Avatrombopag showed the strongest ROR signal for renal vein thrombosis (ROR = 136.49; 95% CI: 56.53-329.56), while Eltrombopag and Romiplostim exhibited highest signals for renal embolism (ROR = 23.70; 95% CI: 8.78-64.00) and arterial embolism (ROR = 37.63; 95% CI: 25.68-55.14), respectively. Median time to onset was 81 days (IQR: 25-263), with 25% of events occurring within 25 days. Multivariate analysis identified age > 85 years (OR = 14.94; 95% CI: 12.51-17.97), body weight > 100 kg (OR = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.26-1.63), and treatment duration > 730 days (OR = 1.32; 95% CI: 1.21-1.45) as independent factors associated with increased reporting odds of thromboembolic events. Compared with Avatrombopag, Eltrombopag (OR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.25-0.40) and Romiplostim (OR = 0.20; 95% CI: 0.16-0.25) were associated with lower reporting odds of thromboembolic AE. Conclusions: Real-world pharmacovigilance evidence indicates that thromboembolic event reporting for TPO-RAs shows drug-specific patterns, with venous events predominating and a notable fraction occurring early after treatment initiation. Patients of very advanced age, those with higher body weight, and those receiving prolonged therapy appear particularly vulnerable, supporting proactive baseline risk stratification and sustained thrombosis surveillance throughout treatment.
