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

Neuropathy is the chief dose-limiting side effect associated with the major classes of frontline cancer therapy drugs. Here the changes in behavioral responses of rats to cutaneous mechanical and thermal stimuli occurring following treatment with cisplatin and the changes in spinal neurophysiology accompanying the development of chemotherapy-induced hyperalgesia were explored. Systemic treatment with cisplatin induced changes in both mechanical and thermal cutaneous sensory withdrawal thresholds of Sprague-Dawley rats. High doses of chemotherapy produced hypoalgesia whereas lower doses produced hyperalgesia. Follow-up neurophysiological studies in rats with chemotherapy-induced hyperalgesia revealed that deep spinal lamina wide dynamic range neurons had significantly higher spontaneous activity and longer afterdischarges to noxious mechanical stimuli than wide dynamic range neurons in control rats; cisplatin administration was also associated with longer afterdischarges and abnormal wind-up to transcutaneous electrical stimuli. The hyperexcitability observed during cisplatin-induced hyperalgesia is very similar to that observed in rats with hyperalgesia produced following treatment with other very diverse types of chemotherapeutic agents and similar to that observed following specific types of direct nerve injury.
