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
backgroundVinorelbine (VNR) is a key chemotherapeutic agent for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, peripheral venous administration frequently induces phlebitis in 20-50% of patients. A previous study showed that applying a hot compress during VNR was effective in patients who had already developed symptoms. Therefore, this method was applied to all patients receiving VNR via peripheral venous administration at Hokkaido University Hospital. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of hot compresses for VNR-induced phlebitis in real-world settings.
methodsPatients with NSCLC who received cisplatin (CDDP) + VNR (n = 92) were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into a hot compress group, which included patients who received hot compresses during VNR administration, and a control group that did not receive hot compresses. The primary endpoint was the frequency of phlebitis during the first cycle between the groups.
resultsHot compress significantly reduced the frequency of phlebitis during the first cycle (47.3% and 18.9% in the control and hot compress groups, respectively; P = 0.008) and on day 8 of the first cycle (38.2% and 10.8%; P = 0.004), with primary endpoint accomplishment. Furthermore, symptom reduction using hot compresses was confirmed among patients who received VNR on day 8 via a different arm from that administered on day 1 (31.6% vs. 3.0%, P = 0.002). Additionally, the onset of the first occurrence of VNR-induced phlebitis was significantly delayed (P = 0.008).
conclusionHot compresses significantly reduced the frequency of VNR-induced phlebitis in patients with NSCLC receiving CDDP + VNR.
