In one paragraph

Article in Indian journal of palliative care, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05664906 (Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Chinese Medicine Oral Rinse in Treating and Preventing Irradiated Oral Mucositis in Head-and-Neck Cancer Patients - a Pilot Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy will receive some degree of oral mucositis the incidence of oral mucositis was especially high in patients(i) With primary tumors in the oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx; (ii) who also received concomitant chemotherapy; (iii) who received a total dose over 5,000 cGy; and (iv) who were treated with altered fractionation radiation schedules. Radiation-induced oral mucositis affects the quality of life of the patients and the family concerned. The present day management of oral mucositis is mostly palliative and or supportive care. The newer guidelines are suggesting Palifermin, which is the first active mucositis drug as well as Amifostine, for radiation protection and cryotherapy. The current management should focus more on palliative measures, such as pain management, nutritional support, and maintenance, of good oral hygiene.
