Prophylactic efficacy of ninjin'yoeito for oxaliplatin-induced cumulative peripheral neuropathy in patients with colorectal cancer receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy: a randomized, open-label, phase 2 trial (HOPE-2).
Trial report in International journal of clinical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposePeripheral neuropathy (PN) is an intractable side effect of oxaliplatin, with no effective prophylaxis so far. Ninjin'yoeito (NYT), a Kampo medicine, is protective against oxaliplatin-induced neuronal cell injury in vitro and ameliorates oxaliplatin-induced PN in vivo. Thus, this randomized controlled trial was aimed at clarifying NYT's prophylactic effect for oxaliplatin-induced cumulative PN.
methods52 patients with colorectal cancers of pathological stage 3 received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with the CapeOX regimen: eight cycles of capecitabine (2400 mg/m
results40 patients (n = 20 in both groups) completed 8 chemotherapy cycles. The incidence of grade 2 or greater cumulative PN at the 8th chemotherapy cycle was significantly lower in the NYT group (2/20, 10.0%) than in the control group (11/20, 55.0%, P < 0.01). RDI of oxaliplatin was significantly higher in the NYT group than in the control group (P = 0.02). RFS and OS were better in the NYT group than in the control group, but the difference was not significant.
conclusionsNYT may reduce the incidence of oxaliplatin-induced cumulative PN and facilitate maintenance of the CapeOX dosing regimen.
