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

backgroundPost intragastric balloon placement symptoms like nausea and vomiting have been the major cause of a high rate of early removal. Common therapy with ondansetron alone, or in combination, with prokinetic agents have been shown to have very little or no effect. Recently, an improved therapy based on aprepitant and ondansetron combination showed a significant improvement in symptoms management. Lack of aprepitant availability in several countries and patients difficulties to follow the right prescription convinced us to explore other pharmacological options.

objectiveEvaluate safety and efficacy of a netupitant and palonosetron-combined drug and to reduce and control post Elipse® placement symptoms

methodsBetween January and March 2018, 30 patients (9 male, 21 female), (mean weight 97.8 and mean BMI 34.7), underwent Elispe® placements, at 550 ml volume, in an outpatient fashion. All patients received a single pill 300 mg netupitant/0.5 mg palonosetron 6 h prior to placement. All patients received ondansetron 4 mg prescription to be taken as needed. A daily VAS score to report intensity of nausea, vomit, cramps, gastric pain, satiety for the first week post-placement was completed.

results4/30 (13%) reported vomiting on days 1, 2, and 3; 9/30 (30%) reported nausea higher than score 4 on days 1, 2, and 3; 8/30 (26.6%) reported gastric pain higher than score 4 on days 1, 2, and 3.

conclusionIn our experience, the use of a single-pill netupitant/palonosetron resulted to be very easy to administer and effective in reducing vomit, nausea, and gastric pain in 87%, 70%, and 73.4% patients respectively, ameliorating the post Elipse™ placements symptoms safely.
