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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Its prevalence in cancer patients undergoing treatment with radiation or chemotherapeutic agents has been on the rise. The most common offending agents are alkylating agents and anthracyclines causing various types of arrhythmias, including AF. We report a case of a 62-year-old male who was diagnosed with stage IV pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma and was started on chemotherapy with a mesna-ifosfamide and doxorubicin (MAI) regimen. He developed AF with a rapid ventricular rate soon after his second cycle of treatment, which got better with the initiation of beta-blocker therapy. Since low blood counts, including low platelet levels, are expected in patients with chemotherapy, the continual use of anticoagulation therapy varies on a case-to-case basis.
