A Case of Docetaxel-Induced Rhabdomyolysis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Docetaxel is an antimicrotubule agent with activity in a variety of cancers. Its toxicity profile includes myelosuppression, fluid retention/edema, and peripheral neuropathy. It is also associated with myalgias but the frequency and extent of this toxicity are not well described. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old female with breast cancer who developed bilateral proximal leg pain and inability to walk two weeks after the third cycle of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide. Initial workup showed elevated creatinine kinase (CK) levels which trended up to 9000 U/L suggesting rhabdomyolysis. She was treated with IV isotonic fluids without renal complications. Her CK was 1800 U/L at discharge and normalized two weeks post-discharge. To our knowledge, this is one of the few reports of docetaxel-induced rhabdomyolysis. The purpose of this report is to alert physicians of this rare but morbid complication.
