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

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause of drug withdrawal, a particular cause for concern among patients receiving anti-cancer treatment. This review summarizes the available evidence on the efficacy of hepatoprotective drugs in normalizing liver enzyme abnormalities among patients with DILI due to treatment with anti-cancer therapies. Across relevant publications, the effects of several compounds on anti-cancer therapy-induced DILI were assessed. Treatment with hepatoprotective agents which is usually initiated after DILI has been detected and involves cessation of causative anti-cancer therapy, has demonstrated improvements in liver enzyme elevation. However, prophylactic treatment with two agents in particular, ademetionine and bicyclol have shown hepatoprotective effects that enabled patients to continue with their anti-cancer therapy with a reduced subsequently reduced risk of hepatotoxicity. While these publications show some evidence for the benefits of hepatoprotective agents among patients with DILI due to anti-cancer therapy, more research is needed to fully determine the effects of hepatoprotective drugs in resolving DILI signs and symptoms among patients receiving treatment for cancer.
