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

This case highlights the occurrence of hand-foot syndrome due to the use of an antimetabolite group of drugs, capecitabine, which was used in the chemotherapy of a 56-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with rectosigmoid carcinoma. The patient was diagnosed with rectosigmoid carcinoma two months ago and underwent laparoscopic lower anterior resection and colorectal anastomosis. Subsequently, the patient commenced chemotherapy treatment with a combination of oxaliplatin and capecitabine. The patient presented to us with complaints of loose stools for the past three days, and discoloration of the palms, soles, and tongue was noted and subjected to a biopsy, which revealed features compatible with chronic, nonspecific dermatitis. The occurrence of such palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia with capecitabine is yet to be extensively studied.
