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

methodsThis was a prospective cohort study that enrolled patients with colorectal or gynecologic cancer post chemotherapy for more than 1 year. The patients underwent laboratory examinations (nerve conduction studies and quantitative sensory tests), and a questionnaire about the quality of life. An unsupervised classification algorithm was used to classify the patients into groups using a small number of variables derived from the laboratory tests. A panel of five neurologists also diagnosed the types of neuropathies according to the laboratory tests. The results by the unsupervised classification algorithm and the neurologists were compared.

resultsThe neurologists' diagnoses showed much higher rates of entrapment syndromes (66.1%) and radiculopathies (55.1%) than polyneuropathy (motor/sensory: 33.1%/29.7%). A multivariate analysis showed that the questionnaire was not significantly correlated with the results of quantitative sensory tests (

conclusionThe results of our unsupervised classification algorithm based on three variables of laboratory tests correlated well with the neurologists' diagnoses.
