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

We report an extremely rare case of acute inflammatory myopathy during combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and transtuzumab for metastatic breast carcinoma in a 44-year-old female patient. Despite the significant response in the follow-up fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography, of the underlying malignancy to the chemotherapeutic regimen, there was diffusely increased FDG uptake in the upper and lower limb muscles with associated painful, proximal muscle weakness. These symptoms regressed after the discontinuation of docetaxel and the administration of corticosteroids, suggesting it to be the drug-induced myositis.
