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

Ileitis and colitis are known complications of capecitabine when used in patients with gastrointestinal cancers. However, to our knowledge, pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) has not previously been reported with this medication. We present a patient with breast cancer, without any metastases to the gastrointestinal tract, who presented with persistent diarrhea 4 weeks after discontinuing adjuvant capecitabine, which was found to be due to PI. As she had no other risk factors or identifiable causes, her PI was attributed to a delayed reaction to capecitabine. This case highlights the need to consider PI earlier in the differential diagnosis in patients with breast cancer who present with unexplained diarrhea after recent discontinuation of capecitabine.
