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

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the frequency of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and demographic correlates of moderate and major DDIs among patients with hematologic cancer at a referral hematology hospital in Iran. Methods: In this study, for 6 months, all patients suffering from hematologic cancers admitted to the tertiary oncology hospital, Omid, Isfahan, were considered. Data from all medications prescribed to patients during hospitalization were analyzed using the online Lexicomp Findings: A total of 674 DDIs were detected in 109 patients. The prevalence of treatments with at least one clinically relevant interaction was 95%, being 57.9% for those at level C and 31.5% for levels D and X. According to the frequency, the main interaction was between aprepitant and corticosteroids, followed by the interaction between aprepitant and vincristine. The most common interaction between antineoplastic agents was between doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. In terms of mechanism, most of DDIs (54.9%) were pharmacodynamics. Only the number of administered medications was associated with DDI occurrence. Conclusion: Potential DDIs of moderate to major severity are common among patients with hematologic malignancies. This underscores the importance of implementing different strategies to mitigate this clinically significant risk.
