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

Background There is limited data on specific antiemetic protocols for control of chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting (CINV) caused by weekly cisplatin regimens. Olanzapine is an active agent against CINV and may offer better control of nausea compared to aprepitant/fosaprepitant-based regimens. The usual antiemetic dose of olanzapine (10 mg for four days) causes problems with drowsiness. A lower dose may be as effective with lesser side effects in patients receiving weekly cisplatin. Objective To assess the control of nausea, vomiting, and occurrence of side effects with a modified olanzapine-based antiemetic regimen among patients with carcinoma of the cervix receiving concurrent cisplatin with pelvic radiotherapy. Setting Tertiary cancer hospital in Southern India. Methods We used a modified regimen "mini-OPD", oral olanzapine (5 mg) days 1 and 2, intravenous palonosetron (0.25 mg) and dexamethasone (12 mg) on day 1 of cisplatin administration in patients with carcinoma of the cervix receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy with weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m
