Cytochrome P-450-mediated herb and food-drug interactions can be identified in cancer patients through patient self-reporting with a tablet application: results of a prospective observational study.
Observational study in ESMO open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04128865 (PRevention of INteractions Between Phytotherapies and CancEr Treatments by a SmartphonE/Tablet Automated SurvEy), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundConsumption of herbs, food used as medicine and dietary supplements (HFDSs) is common in cancer patients. Herbs and food-drug interactions (HFDIs) can lead to serious adverse effects and can be prevented. We previously reviewed cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-mediated HFDI for 261 HFDSs and we classified the risk of CYP inhibition and induction on a level of evidence scale from 1 (high evidence, supported by several clinical studies) to 5 (low evidence, only limited preclinical data). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe conducted a prospective, non-interventional study (NCT04128865) to assess whether self-assessment of patients could detect HFDI classified as 'probable' (i.e. level 1, 2 or 3 of the scale) in a population of cancer patients. Patients were invited through a tablet application to report their consumption of herbs, regular CYP-interacting food consumption and dietary supplements, as well as some clinical data and cancer treatments. The patient's completion of the survey could be supervised by a health care professional or not. A prespecified threshold of 5% of HFDIs classified as 'probable' detected with the application was deemed relevant.
resultsBetween 29 March 2018 and 22 June 2018, 143 patients completed the survey. Ninety-five patients (66%) reported at least one current systemic cancer treatment and were included in the analyses. Seventy-four patients reported an intake of at least one HFDS (77.9%), while 21 patients reported no HFDS (22.1%). Twenty-two HFDIs classified as 'probable' were found in 16 patients (16.8%) with the application, which was significantly superior to the prespecified threshold (P = 0.02). The interactions were reported with food (n = 19, 86%) more frequently than with herbs (n = 3, 14%) or with dietary supplements (no interaction reported).
conclusionsSelf-assessment of HFDS interaction with cancer treatment with an application is feasible and should be considered in daily routine. Prospective interventional studies should be conducted to better assess the clinical benefits of this approach.
