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

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) seriously impairs patients' quality of life cumulatively and dose-dependently. Because assessment of CIPN usually depends on patients' subjective evaluation of symptoms, objective and quantitative measures are needed. We evaluated a point-of-care nerve conduction device (POCD), previously validated for the assessment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) of the sural nerve were measured using a portable, automated POCD (DPNCheck; NeuroMetrix Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) in patients with a clinical diagnosis of CIPN of grade 1 or higher. We compared SNAP and SNCV among patients with different grades of CIPN according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. A total of 50 patients (22 men, 28 women; median age, 64 years; grade 1/2/3, 21/18/11) were evaluated. Anticancer drugs responsible for CIPN were cisplatin in five patients, oxaliplatin in 15, carboplatin in 5, paclitaxel in 16, docetaxel in 14, nab-paclitaxel in 7, vincristine in 6, and bortezomib in 3. Unadjusted SNAP was 8.45 ± 3.67 μV (mean ± SD) in patients with grade 1 CIPN, 5.42 ± 2.68 μV with grade 2, and 2.45 ± 1.52 μV with grade 3. Unadjusted SNCV was 49.71 ± 4.77 m/s in patients with grade 1 CIPN, 48.78 ± 6.33 m/s with grade 2, and 44.14 ± 7.31 m/s with grade 3. The adjusted SNAP after controlling for age significantly differed between each CTCAE grade (P < 0.001, ancova). The adjusted SNCV after controlling for age and height also differed significantly (P = 0.027). Differences in the severity of CIPN could be detected objectively and quantitatively using this POCD.
