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

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of intravesical instillation treatment of Kangfuxin liquid (KFL) combined with thrombin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) for radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in patients with cervical cancer. A total of 34 patients with radiation-induced HC of grade 2-4 were treated with intravesical instillation of KFL combined with thrombin and EGF until the complete disappearance of hematuria and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Gentamicin was added if white blood cells were detected and bacterial culture was positive in the urine. All patients were followed up for 2 years to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen. Patients with and without recurrent hematuria (n = 3, 9% and n = 31, 91%, respectively) were completely recovered from hematuria and LUTS by intravesical instillation treatment for 6-22 days. No adverse event was reported during the treatment and the 2-year follow-up for all patients. Thus, intravesical instillation of KFL combined with thrombin and EGF is an effective and safe therapeutic regimen for radiation-induced HC of grade 2-4 in patients with cervical cancer.
