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

The study evaluated the current patterns of guideline-recommended clinical use, real-world utilization trends, and translational development of platinum-based (Pt-based) drugs through a comparative analysis of national and international pharmacotherapeutic guidelines, national drug utilization data, clinical trials, and emerging research directions. Cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin continue to play central roles across multiple malignancies and remain widely incorporated into recommended treatment protocols. Across all five guideline sources evaluated, Pt-based therapies were recommended in more than half of the 18 ICD-O topographic categories, with guideline coverage ranging from 55.6% to 83.3%. Real-world utilization data, using Bulgaria as a case study, indicated sustained and increasing use of Pt-based therapies between 2021 and 2024, with oxaliplatin showing the greatest increase. Current clinical trials focus primarily on optimizing established Pt-based regimens through combinations with immunotherapeutics and emerging drug candidates within increasingly personalized multimodal treatment strategies. In parallel, research efforts are directed toward the development of new Pt complexes, exploring next-generation approaches such as multifunctional Pt(IV) prodrugs and Pt-N-heterocyclic carbene compounds, as well as advanced drug-delivery systems, reflecting continued innovation in the field. Overall, Pt-based drugs remain essential in cancer therapy and continue to represent a dynamic area of research in biological inorganic chemistry and translational oncology.
