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

backgroundRadiation-induced diarrhea (RID) is a distressing side effect of radiation to the abdominal and pelvic areas and warrants evidence-based interventions.

objectivesThis article reviews evidence for updates to the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) symptom intervention recommendations for treating and preventing RID.

methodsThe ONS RID project team reviewed primary interventional studies, systematic reviews, and clinical practice guidelines. Results were categorized based on quality and level of evidence, outcome magnitude, and agreement between studies.

findingsThe team categorized the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation as not established, sulfasalazine as unlikely to be effective, SpaceOAR™ as effective with caution for patients with prostate cancer, and probiotics as recommended for practice. The studies reviewed consistently reported favorable effects of probiotics use during and after radiation with minimal to no adverse events.
