In Vitro Assessment of Fluoropyrimidine-Metabolizing Enzymes: Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase, Dihydropyrimidinase, and β-Ureidopropionase.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fluoropyrimidine drugs (FPs), including 5-fluorouracil, tegafur, capecitabine, and doxifluridine, are among the most widely used anticancer agents in the treatment of solid tumors. However, severe toxicity occurs in approximately 30% of patients following FP administration, emphasizing the importance of predicting the risk of acute toxicity before treatment. Three metabolic enzymes, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), dihydropyrimidinase (DHP), and β-ureidopropionase (β-UP), degrade FPs; hence, deficiencies in these enzymes, arising from genetic polymorphisms, are involved in severe FP-related toxicity, although the effect of these polymorphisms on in vivo enzymatic activity has not been clarified. Furthermore, the clinical usefulness of current methods for predicting in vivo activity, such as pyrimidine concentrations in blood or urine, is unknown. In vitro tests have been established as advantageous for predicting the in vivo activity of enzyme variants. This is due to several studies that evaluated FP activities after enzyme metabolism using transient expression systems in
