Review in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05852990 (Effect of Glutamine Plus Lactobacillus Reuteri Added to an Astringent Diet in Preventing Diarrhea Caused by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (SM-TKIs) are among a group of targeted cancer therapies, intended to be more specific to cancer cells compared with treatments, such as chemotherapy, hence reducing adverse events. Unfortunately, many patients report high levels of diarrhea, the pathogenesis of which remains under investigation. In this article, we compare the current state of knowledge of the pathogenesis of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in comparison to SM-TKI-induced diarrhea, and investigate how a similar research approach in both areas may be beneficial. To this end, we review evidence that both treatment modalities may interact with the gut microbiome, and as such the microbiome should be investigated for its ability to reduce the risk of diarrhea.
