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

Background: Many studies have focused on adverse reactions caused by platinum drugs but neglected subsequent toxicities and the mechanisms during patient recovery after chemotherapy with different platinum drugs, which need attention because of the heavy metal platinum. Objectives: We aimed to explore the correlations between platinum accumulation, hematological indices, and clinical toxicity in patients after a metabolism period following platinum drug chemotherapy, to better understand real-world clinical toxicity caused by platinum accumulation. Methods: We enrolled patients receiving platinum chemotherapy, specifically cisplatin, oxaliplatin, or carboplatin. On the 25th day post-chemotherapy, we measured serum platinum concentrations and hematological indices, documented clinical toxicities, and subsequently performed correlation analyses. Results: The serum platinum concentrations in oxaliplatin-, cisplatin-, and carboplatin-treated patients were 208.60, 349.15 and 211.30 µg/L ( Discussion and Conclusions: Platinum accumulation, by disrupting the red blood cell system and liver and kidney function, influences fatigue severity and common adverse reactions in patients during the post-chemotherapy recovery period.
