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

Though antiemetic therapy has improved markedly in the past 15 years, patients still regard nausea and vomiting as two of the most distressing adverse events during chemotherapy. A major progress was the development of the serotonin3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists. A possible antiemetic effect, achieved by interference with the "serotonergic system", is not restricted to antagonism at 5-HT3 receptors, however, but also includes agonism at 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors, and serotonin synthesis inhibitors. The number of receptors thought to be involved in the emetic reflex has been augmented by neurokinin1 receptors with substance P as the preferred ligand. Animal studies have demonstrated a broad antiemetic profile of substance P antagonists. The somatostatin analogue octreotide has an antiemetic effect in patients with gastrointestinal obstruction, but has not been investigated against chemotherapy-induced emesis. The next few years will disclose, whether the efficacy and safety profiles of one or more of these drugs will make it clinically useful in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
