Evaluation of 30-day mortality rate following intravenous systemic anticancer therapy: a retrospective analysis.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionThis study aims to determine the 30-day mortality rate following intravenous systemic anticancer therapies (SACT) and to compare mortality rates between different therapeutic modalities, including immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on cancer patients who received intravenous SACT between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022. Patient data, including demographics, cancer types, treatment details, and mortality outcomes, were collected from hospital records. The primary endpoint was 30-day mortality following the last dose of SACT.
resultsAmong the 1,937 patients included, the overall 30-day mortality rate post-SACT was 7%. Significant factors affecting 30-day mortality included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, body mass index (BMI), and smoking status. In Non-Stage 4 treated patients, a higher ECOG score was significantly associated with increased mortality. In Stage 4 treated patients, both a higher ECOG score and a lower BMI were independent predictors of increased mortality. Additionally, receiving Stage 4 treatment and being an active smoker significantly increased mortality risk in patients with gastrointestinal and breast cancers.
conclusionMonitoring 30-day mortality post-SACT is essential for improving oncological care quality. Identifying and addressing modifiable risk factors and carefully selecting patients for modern oncological treatments can help reduce mortality rates. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore the impact of immunotherapy on short-term mortality in diverse cancer populations.
