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

purposeThe aim of the current study is to report our prospective experience on the prevalence of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OXAIPN) in patients with digestive tract cancers treated with oxaliplatin-based combination therapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 219 patients scheduled to be treated with oxaliplatin-based combination therapy were prospectively examined at baseline and follow-up during the therapy between November 2014 and December 2016. The incidence of acute OXAIPN was measured using a descriptive questionnaire (yes/no question) based on sum of number of symptoms present and NCI-CTCAE version 4.03 was applied to clinically grade the severity of chronic OXAIPN.

resultsAcute and chronic OXAIPN was found in 108 of 219 (49.3%) and 127 of 219 (58%) patients, respectively. Out of 11 acute OXAIPN symptoms, the vast majority of patients manifested cold-induced pharyngolaryngeal (63.8%) dysesthesias or perioral (61.1%) paresthesias. Development of acute OXAIPN was predictive of subsequent development of chronic OXAIPN (

conclusionThe current study results demonstrate that the vast majority of patients who receive oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy will manifest acute OXAIPN that may contribute to the development of chronic peripheral neuropathy on repeated courses of drug administration.
