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

The purpose of the present trial was to determine the feasibility of the daily topical application of the piperidine nitroxide, MTS‑01, combined with chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of patients with anal carcinoma. The secondary study endpoints were the description of the effects of this agent on skin toxicity and rectal‑associated lymphoid tissue. The participants received radiotherapy concurrent with mitomycin‑C and 5‑fluorouracil for carcinoma of the anal canal. MTS‑01 was applied to the bilateral inguinal area and the gluteal cleft. Dermatologic and non‑dermatologic toxicity was graded throughout the treatment period. Circulating lymphocytes were serially collected for phenotyping. Rectal mucosal snag biopsies were collected at baseline and at 1 year of follow‑up. A total of 5 patients received topical MTS‑01. Adverse events attributed to MTS‑01 included asymptomatic grade 1 hypoglycemia and grade 1‑2 diarrhea. Dermatitis within untreated, radiated skin was not more severe than dermatitis in MTS‑01‑treated, unirradiated skin. Circulating CD4
