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.
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
Olanzapine combined with the neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, palonosetron and dexamethasone is the standard treatment for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) due to highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC). However, the use of olanzapine poses challenges in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) due to the potential risk of hyperglycemia. ME2136, antipsychotic similar to olanzapine, is associated with a lower risk of hyperglycemia. This study investigated the antiemetic efficacy and safety of ME2136 for HEC. This single-arm phase 2 study examined the safety and efficacy of ME2136 5 mg for 4 days in combination with triplet-combination antiemetic therapy. Two cohorts were established for the safety assessment: DM and non-DM. Eligible patients had malignant tumors and were receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy for the first time. The primary endpoint was the complete response (CR) rate, defined as the percentage of patients without vomiting and not requiring rescue medications in the delayed phase (24-120 h). Between December 2020 and January 2022, 40 patients were enrolled, with 20 in each cohort. All patients were included in the safety analysis and 35 in the efficacy analysis. The CR rate in the delayed phase was 71.4% [60% CI 63.1-78.6%] for all patients, 66.7% in the DM cohort, and 76.5% in the non-DM cohort. No treatment-related adverse events ≥ grade 3, including hyperglycemia, were reported. ME2136, when combined with standard triplet-combination antiemetic therapy, is expected to exert similar antiemetic effects to the standard treatment for CINV due to HEC. Currently, ME2136-02 trial is underway to examine the safety and efficacy of triplet-combination antiemetic therapy and a 5-day treatment with ME2136. This study was registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT2041200071) on 10 December 2020.
