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

introductionThe goal of this systematic review was to examine the effectiveness of e-health interventions for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).

methodsA literature search was conducted across the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library from database establishment to 3 March 2024. We included randomized controlled trials in English where the intervention group was via e-health. Two reviewers independently carried out the screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal of the studies. Using Stata 17.0, meta-analyses were conducted to synthesize the effects of outcomes of interest.

resultsA total of 6663 studies were retrieved, with only 8 RCTs meeting criteria, involving 620 patients. Meta-analysis revealed that e-health interventions significantly reduce CINV severity (MD =  - 7.687; 95% CI - 11.903, - 3.326; p < 0.001). However, results regarding CINV incidence reduction and quality of life improvement are inconclusive due to variations in intervention content, modality, and frequency among studies.

conclusionse-health interventions may reduce the severity and incidence of CINV, while enhancing quality of life. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously. Higher quality studies are needed in the future to further validate the effectiveness of e-health interventions for CINV.
