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

Gemcitabine is indicated for the treatment of nonmicrocytic lung, breast, pancreatic, bladder and ovarian cancer. Mild dyspnea has been reported but the incidence of severe lung damage is low. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman diagnosed with locally advanced infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast who received gemcitabine as part of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and suffered from severe pulmonary toxicity. We reviewed the cases published in the literature and conclude that although Gemcitabine is generally well tolerated, pulmonary toxicity requires high level of suspicion and prompt treatment to prevent an unfavourable outcome.
