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

Capecitabine, a prodrug of fluorouracil, is a component of many chemotherapy regimens used to treat a wide variety of malignancies. One of the most common adverse reactions experienced by those who have been exposed to capecitabine is palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE). PPE is a cutaneous manifestation of chemotherapy-related drug toxicity that has signs and symptoms of erythema, edema, pain, ulceration, or desquamation of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The signs and symptoms occur with varying severity. There are few reports of the genitalia being similarly affected. The following case describes a patient with locally advanced rectal cancer who experienced erythrodysesthesia secondary to a capecitabine-containing neoadjuvant chemoradiation regimen that primarily and most significantly involved the genitalia.
