Hand-Foot Syndrome Presentation Post-Capecitabine Treatment in a Black Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, commonly known as hand-foot syndrome (HFS), is a side-effect of cancer chemotherapeutic agents such as capecitabine. Patients with HFS oftentimes present with palmoplantar numbness, tingling, burning pain, and/or hyperpigmentation; in advanced grades, blistering and ulceration may occur. In this article, we present the case of a Black patient with grade 1 HFS post-capecitabine treatment for metastasized breast cancer. Prompt recognition for atypical HFS symptom presentation in people of color and discontinuation of capecitabine with supportive treatment can prevent progression to grade 2+ HFS that limits activities of daily living (ADLs).
