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

High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is used in the treatment of a range of adult and childhood cancers. Although HDMTX can provide effective anti-tumor activity with an acceptable safety profile for most patients, delayed methotrexate elimination (DME) develops in a minority of patients receiving HDMTX and may be accompanied by renal dysfunction and potentially life-threatening toxicity. A panel of European physicians with experience in the use of HDMTX as well as of glucarpidase convened to develop a series of consensus statements to provide practical guidance on the prevention and treatment of DME, including the use of glucarpidase. Robust implementation of supportive measures including hyperhydration and urine alkalinization emerged as critical in order to reduce the risk of DME with HDMTX treatment, with leucovorin rescue critical in reducing the risk of DME complications. Early recognition of DME is important to promptly implement appropriate treatment including, intensified hydration, high-dose leucovorin and, when appropriate, glucarpidase.
