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

rationaleHemorrhagic cystitis can be a serious side effect of some chemotherapy drugs like cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide. Docetaxel is a taxane that is used to treat several malignancies including breast and prostate cancer. Hemorrhagic cystitis has not been described as a complication of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, particularly docetaxel with carboplatin, trastuzumab and pertuzumab (TCHP) in breast cancer patients. PATIENT CONCERNS: Both patients had a history of locally advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive breast cancer and complaint of hematuria after their first treatment with TCHP. DIAGNOSES: They were diagnosed with hemorrhagic cystitis.

interventionsDocetaxel was discontinued and changed to paclitaxel. OUTCOMES: Both patients completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and did not have further episodes of hemorrhagic cystitis. LESSONS: Hemorrhagic cystitis is a rare complication of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel (TCHP). Clinicians should be vigilant for signs and symptoms of hemorrhagic cystitis in patients receiving docetaxel and alternative treatment option should be considered.
