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

backgroundThe current first-line treatment of locally advanced head and neck carcinoma (LAHNC) is concurrent chemoradiation with three-weekly cisplatin 100 mg/m

aimTo compare the acute hematologic and renal toxicities of these two regimens.

methodsThis randomized clinical trial included 77 LAHNC patients who were allocated to a high dose (100 mg/m

resultsThe average age of patients was 55.3 years. Overall, 71.4% of patients were treated in a definitive setting. The incidence of severe hematologic events was not significantly different. However, the average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly greater in the three-weekly group (67.85 vs. 58.57% mL/min per 1.73 m

conclusionsSevere acute hematologic toxicities were comparable for three-weekly and weekly groups. The decrease in eGFR through treatment was more significant with weekly cisplatin. Further follow-up, however, is needed to confirm its impact on delayed renal function.
