Proton pump inhibitors reduce survival outcomes in patients treated with capecitabine: meta-analysis.
Review in Ecancermedicalscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used over-the-counter drugs. The interaction between capecitabine and PPIs is still ambiguous within the literature, with some discrepancies still being present regarding the risks, or benefits, of their concomitant use. This meta-analysis aims to analyse data from the literature regarding both the risk of PPIs on survival in patients treated with capecitabine, as well as their benefits regarding the incidence of hand-foot syndrome (HFS). A total of 17 studies were included after searching PubMed, Medline and Cochrane until October 2022 for the effect of PPIs on the treatment efficacy and pharmacokinetics, and incidence of HFS. Revman Ver. 5.3 was used for all statistical analyses. Our data showed a significant HFS reduction at a relative risk of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.70-085;
