Detection and characterization of neurotoxicity in cancer patients using proton MR spectroscopy.
Trial report in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe study objective was to detect abnormalities and identify relationships between brain metabolic ratios determined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ((1)H-MRSI) and neuropsychological (NP) function in cancer patients at risk for neurotoxicity.
methodsThirty-two patients received (1)H-MRSI using a multi-slice, multi-voxel technique on a 1.5T magnet. Cho/NAA, NAA/Cr, and Cho/Cr ratios were identified in seven pre-determined sites without tumor involvement. A battery of age-appropriate NP tests was administered within 7 days of imaging. Relationships were examined between test scores and metabolite ratios.
conclusionsThis study identifies relationships between brain metabolite ratios and cognitive functioning in cancer patients. (1)H-MRSI may be useful in early detection of neurotoxic effects, but prospective longitudinal studies in a homogeneous population are recommended to determine the prognostic value.
