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
backgroundStandardized chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) prevention in HEC is critical, yet NK1RAs remain inaccessible for some patients due to cost and availability. Our prior study demonstrated HXZQ + 5HT3RAs + dexamethasone's superior efficacy; this phase III trial aimed to validate this regimen.
methodThis multicenter, double-blind, randomized phase III trial (10 hospitals, Southwest China; March 2023-August 2024) assigned patients to group HX (HXZQ + 5HT3RA + dexamethasone) or group C (control). Primary endpoints: mean No CINV Days (NCDs) during the full cycle and complete control (CC) rate beyond the risk period. Secondary endpoints: safety, CC rate during the risk period, mean no nausea days and life function.
resultsA total of 166 patients were enrolled and 139 patients completed the study, 73 in group HX and 66 in group C. The mean NCDs was significantly better in group HX (17.92 ± 4.06) than that in group C (15.26 ± 5.91, P = .002). Group HX showed better NCDs in acute, delayed and the period beyond the risk phases than group C, with a higher CC rate of CINV beyond the risk phase (80.8% vs 60.6%, P = .009). The mean no nausea days in group HX was significantly better than that in group C (18.26 vs 15.45, P = .001). Group HX also showed a trend to better functional living index-emesis score, but only achieved the significance during the period beyond the risk phase.
conclusionHXZQ in combination with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone is safe and feasible for preventing CINV due to 3-day cisplatin-containing HEC throughout the whole cycle.
