Awareness of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and adherence to guidelines: results of a multinational and multicenter survey, part of the THRIVE program.

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
purposeChemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common adverse effect that clearly benefits from prophylactic management. Awareness of CINV and adherence to CINV management guidelines was assessed under a continuing medical education program involving a personal practice assessment (PPA)-THRIVE (Training to Help Reduce CINV ratEs).
methodsForty-six medical oncologists from Canada (n = 21), Brazil (n = 20), and Argentina (n = 5) answered an anonymous survey of their practices during patient consultations. The questionnaire was developed by a group of medical oncologist experts.
resultsThe survey included data on 446 patients with multiple cancer types undergoing treatment with highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC; 60%) and moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC; 40%). Although 65% of respondents reported using more than one guideline to establish CINV management protocols, discrepancies between respondents' classifications and major guidelines were observed, particularly for newer agents and carboplatin dosing. In addition, 11% of respondents did not discuss personal additional risk factors for CINV with patients. Regarding CINV prophylactic protocol for MEC, 39% of respondents did not include neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist (NK-1 RA) in the regimen for patients with additional risk factors on MEC. The survey also revealed significant variability in the time points adopted for assessing CINV, with 35% of physicians relying solely on spontaneous reports by patients of delayed CINV.
conclusionThere is a pressing need to explore and support initiatives for effective implementation of guidelines and identifying the causes of nonadherence.
