Comparative Efficacy of Fosnetupitant and Fosaprepitant for Delayed Vomiting in Patients Receiving Irinotecan-Oxaliplatin Combination Chemotherapy: A Retrospective Propensity Score-Matched Study.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2026. 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
Purpose: Appropriate prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is essential for improving patients' quality of life; however, no studies have compared neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists in regimens combining oxaliplatin and irinotecan. We aimed to compare the antiemetic efficacy of fosnetupitant and fosaprepitant in patients receiving FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI regimens. Patients and Methods: We reviewed records of patients receiving FOLFIRINOX or FOLFOXIRI between April 1, 2018 and September 30, 2024 at Tokushima University Hospital. Eligible patients completed the first chemotherapy cycle, received standard triple antiemetic prophylaxis, and had complete nursing-recorded CINV follow-up data for days 1-7. Patients were matched 1:1 using propensity scores for age, sex, alcohol consumption history, prior treatment, regimen, and chemotherapy doses. The primary objective was to compare the incidence of vomiting during the long-delayed phase (days 6-7) between the fosnetupitant and fosaprepitant groups. The no-vomiting and no-nausea rates were compared using Fisher's exact test, and the time to first vomiting using the Log rank test. Results: After matching, data from 68 balanced patient pairs were analyzed. The fosnetupitant group had higher no-vomiting rates in the long-delayed phase (100% vs. 91.2%, p=0.028) and overall period (95.6% vs. 83.8%, p=0.045), compared with the fosaprepitant group. No significant intergroup difference was observed in the overall no-nausea rate (26.5% vs. 32.3%, p=0.573). With fosnetupitant, the time to first vomiting was longer (3/68 vs. 11/68, hazard ratio: 0.20, p=0.045), injection site reactions were fewer (0.0% vs. 19.1%, p<0.001), and constipation and hiccup incidences were fewer (p>0.05). Conclusion: Despite the retrospective design, possible calendar-time confounding, and limited number of events, our results suggest that fosnetupitant offers better control of long-delayed and overall vomiting and a favorable safety profile, compared with fosaprepitant, in patients receiving FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOXIRI regimens.
