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

backgroundOral mucositis is one of the main areas of research in supportive and palliative care of cancer patients. However, the methodology of prospective clinical trials on oral mucositis has not been established, despite its uniqueness. Here, we propose a novel research policy on oral mucositis, including an implementable set of recommendations for researchers conducting clinical trials.

methodsThe first draft was developed by an expert panel of six specialists from the Japanese Supportive, Palliative, and Psychosocial Care Study Group. A provisional draft was developed after review by the following medical societies: the Japanese Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, the Japanese Association of Oral Supportive Care in Cancer, the Japanese Cancer Association, and the receipt of public comments.

resultsThe research policy on oral mucositis mainly consists of the following components: (i) definition of oral mucositis; (ii) characteristics of oral mucositis; (iii) characteristics of oral mucositis research; (iv) target population for oral mucositis research; (v) endpoints and assessment measures in oral mucositis; (vi) eligibility criteria; (vii) research design; (viii) minimally recommended intervention in oral mucositis research as a supplement. The final policy (Ver1.0) was completed on August 16, 2021.

conclusionsThis policy may serve as a significant reference for planning and conducting clinical trials for the management of oral mucositis.
