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

Pt complexes have been used in human and veterinary oncology for more than 50 years and represent one of the most significant groups of cytostatics. There are a lot of Pt-based compounds, such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, which exhibit high efficiency against many tumors. Their broad application in oncology medicine and improper waste disposal induce environmental pollution by platinum cytostatics and their metabolites. They can cause toxic effects to fauna and flora, even at low concentration levels. Currently used technologies for wastewater treatment are not sufficient in the case of platinum-based metabolites. Their high resistance and toxicity of their degradation byproducts pose a serious problem. In this review, currently applied platinum-based cytostatics, their possible metabolic mechanisms, environmental impact and technological methods for their removal from wastewater and patients' urine are summarized. Special attention is paid to adsorption methods.
