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

objectiveTo describe the frequency and characteristics of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) assessment and management communication approaches between patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy and clinicians.

methodsThe data used in this analysis originated from a randomized controlled trial in which adults with cancer self-reported treatment-related symptoms using web-based symptom assessment technology. Three-to-six weeks after study initiation, each participant's outpatient visit was audio-recorded. Audio recordings and associated clinician notes for 159 participants who received platinum and/or taxane-based chemotherapy were coded for the presence of several CIPN assessment and management communication characteristics.

resultsParticipants received low cumulative neurotoxic chemotherapy doses (75%) at the time of audio recording. CIPN was discussed and documented in 44% and 46% of participant-clinician encounters. In symptomatic participants, clinicians asked an average of 0.7 open-ended questions, appropriately managed 70% of cases, and asked upper and lower extremity CIPN questions in 25% of cases.

conclusionsClinicians infrequently discussed and documented CIPN in participants with low CIPN severity, however appropriately managed mild CIPN. Development of interventions to translate existing recommended CIPN communication approaches into practice are required. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Effective participant-clinician communication is required at each clinic visit during chemotherapy treatment to identify initial signs of CIPN and offer appropriate treatment.
