Miconazole mucoadhesive buccal tablet in high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT)-induced mucositis.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Oral mucositis is a major cause of morbidity in high-dose therapy/autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT), where microbial colonization has an important pathological implication. In this study, we evaluated the impact of miconazole mucoadhesive buccal tablet (MBT) on mucositis-related complications. During two consecutive 34-month periods, patients treated with HDT/ASCT in our hematology department received either miconazole MBT (60 patients) or conventional oral amphotericin B suspensions three times a day (44 patients) in order to prevent or decrease chemotherapy-induced mucositis. The use of miconazole MBT is associated with less infectious complications as indicated by shorter antibiotic use (7.8 vs. 12.3 days; p < 0.0001), shorter intravenous antifungal use (1.4 vs. 3.6 days; p = 0.02), and a trend towards less yeast contamination in stool samples. Less patients required any analgesic drugs during hospitalization in the miconazole MBT group (18 vs. 7 %; p = 0.09). Indirect indicators of chemotherapy-induced mucositis (duration of hospitalization, morphine use) were in favor of miconazole MBT in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) but not for those with lymphoma. This study suggests that miconazole MBT provides a valid alternative to oral amphotericin B suspensions in regards to mucositis-related complications. A prospective and randomized study is warranted to establish the definite role of miconazole MBT.
