Hypoalbuminemia and Nutritional Status in Docetaxel-Induced Erythema Multiforme: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Docetaxel is a widely used chemotherapy agent used in breast cancer. Although uncommon, docetaxel-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions including erythema multiforme major, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported. We present a case of a patient with breast cancer developing an erythematous rash covering 20% of her total body surface area where malnutrition and severe hypoalbuminemia of 17g/L were present. This occurred 17 days post cycle five administration of her chemotherapy - docetaxel and Phesgo (pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase). Punch biopsy confirmed erythema multiforme-type cutaneous reaction. Despite appropriate medical management, the patient passed away 10 days after hospital admission due to cancer progression. The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel are discussed, and we conclude that due to its extensive protein binding, hypoalbuminemia and malnutrition may contribute to the risk of docetaxel-induced toxicities. This case highlights the potential need to monitor albumin and nutritional status in patients receiving docetaxel to mitigate toxicities.
