Narrative Review of Drug-Associated Nail Toxicities in Oncologic Patients.
Review in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionNail toxicity represents one of the most common cutaneous adverse effects of both classic chemotherapeutic agents and new oncologic drugs, including targeted treatments and immunotherapy.
objectivesWe aimed to provide a comprehensive literature review of nail toxicities derived from conventional chemotherapeutic agents, targeted therapies (EGFR inhibitors, multikinase inhibitors, BRAF and MEK inhibitors) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including clinical presentation, implicated drugs and approaches for prevention and management.
methodsRetrieved literature from PubMed registry database was reviewed to include all articles published up to May 2021 relevant to the clinical presentation, diagnosis, incidence, prevention, and treatment of oncologic treatment-induced nail toxicity. The internet was searched for relevant studies.
resultsA wide spectrum of nail toxicities is associated with both, conventional and newer anticancer agents. The frequency of nail involvement, especially with immunotherapy and new targeted agents remains unknown and patients with different cancer types receiving different regimens may develop the same nail disorder, whereas patients with the same type of cancer under the same chemotherapeutic treatment may develop different types of nail alterations. The underlying mechanisms of the varying individual susceptibility and the diverse nail responses to various anticancer treatments need further investigation.
conclusionEarly recognition and treatment of nail toxicities can minimize their impact, allowing better adherence to conventional and newer oncologic treatments. Dermatologists, oncologists and other implicated physicians should be aware of these burdensome adverse effects in order to guide management and prevent impairment of patients' quality of life.
