Safe use of capecitabine-cisplatin in metastatic gastric carcinoma with severe liver dysfunction: a case report from Algeria.
Article in Electronic physician, 2017. 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
Due to its high incidence and poor prognosis, gastric cancer is an important health problem worldwide. The liver is the most frequent site of metastases. Advanced cancer in the setting of liver dysfunction poses a dilemma for physicians, as many cancer chemotherapeutic agents undergo hepatic metabolism. This paper reports the case of a patient with liver failure due to liver metastases of gastric cancer. The initial liver function tests showed an elevation of transaminases (aspartate amino transferase 180 IU/l, alanine aminotransferase 110 UI/l), hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin at 24 mg/dl), alkaline phosphatase at 1127 UI/l and elevation of tumor markers (carcinoembryonic antigen >1000 ng/ml and CA19,9 at 180 UI/l). We initiated capecitabine/cisplatin based combination chemotherapy. Our data supports the safety and feasibility of cisplatin-capecitabine regimen in patients with severe liver dysfunction secondary to liver metastases of gastric cancer.
