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

purposeTwo of the most common acute side effects of chemotherapy are nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting impact quality of life, nutritional status, and ability to tolerate further chemotherapy. Parents of pediatric oncology patients rank nausea as one of the most bothersome treatment-related symptoms.

methodsUtilizing Quality Improvement methodology, we developed a dashboard interface to facilitate extraction of data from the electronic medical record (EMR), which is presented via a visual display that summarizes the type of chemotherapy and antiemetic medications, use of as needed medications, and number of episodes of emesis.

resultsThis dashboard interface allows for rapid and efficient identification of patients whose antiemetic regimen is mismatched for the emetogenicity of ordered chemotherapy, thus providing a timely opportunity to modify the antiemetic regimen based on published guidelines before administration of chemotherapy drugs. It also allows measurement of the effectiveness of the antiemetic regimen in terms of the number of break through emesis and the need for as needed medications.

conclusionsA novel CINV dashboard was created, which visually conveys complex information about antiemetics, chemotherapy emetogenicity, as needed medications, and breakthrough vomiting for inpatient pediatric oncology patients.
