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

backgroundFosnetupitant (F-NTP) has demonstrated superior antiemetic efficacy compared with aprepitant in carboplatin-based chemotherapy in real-world settings. However, whether this clinical benefit translates into economic value remains unclear. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of F-NTP compared with aprepitant and examined the impact of incorporating productivity loss from a societal perspective.

methodsA real-world three-phase decision-analytic model with a 7-day time horizon was constructed to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) based on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting health states. Economic outcomes were assessed from a payer perspective using a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of 5 million JPY per QALY, followed by a societal scenario that included productivity loss. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the parameter uncertainty.

resultsFrom the payer perspective, F-NTP provided greater QALY gains than aprepitant but at a higher cost, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of JPY 13,374,496/QALY, which exceeded the prespecified WTP threshold of JPY 5 million/QALY. The inclusion of productivity loss reduced the ICER to JPY 12,413,622/QALY and modestly increased the probability of F-NTP being cost-effective. However, aprepitant remained the preferred strategy at the prespecified WTP threshold.

conclusionAt the prespecified WTP threshold of 5 million JPY/QALY, aprepitant was more likely to be cost-effective than F-NTP for carboplatin-based chemotherapy. Incorporating productivity loss reduced the ICER for F-NTP and modestly increased its probability of being cost-effective, although the overall conclusion regarding cost-effectiveness remained unchanged.
