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

High-dose chemotherapy frequently causes injury to the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in diarrhea. The purpose of the current study was to assess the tolerability and efficacy of enterade® in reducing ≥ grade 2 diarrhea (G2D) in association with high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We conducted a prospective, double blinded, multi-center trial in which 114 subjects were randomized to receive enterade® or placebo twice daily during the transplant hospitalization. Gastrointestinal toxicities (nausea, vomiting, oral mucositis and dysphagia) resulted in poor study compliance in both arms. Among subjects who were able to complete planned therapy (13%), the incidence of G2D was lower for those receiving enterade® as compared to placebo (16% vs 86%, p <0.03). Twice daily oral administration of enterade® and placebo following high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT was not feasible due to significant gastrointestinal toxicities.  Future explorations of enterade® should be conducted in populations capable of reasonable oral intake.<br />.
