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

Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is a common and dose-limiting adverse event. The role of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the neuronal efflux of paclitaxel was assessed using a translational approach. SH-SY5Y cells were differentiated to neurons and paclitaxel toxicity in the absence and presence of a P-gp inhibitor was determined. Paclitaxel caused marked dose-dependent toxicity in SH-SY5Y-derived neurons. Paclitaxel neurotoxicity was exacerbated with concomitant P-gp inhibition by valspodar and verapamil, consistent with increased intracellular accumulation of paclitaxel. Patients with cancer treated with paclitaxel and P-gp inhibitors had a 2.4-fold (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-4.3) increased risk of peripheral neuropathy-induced dose modification while a 4.7-fold (95% CI 1.9-11.9) increased risk for patients treated with strong P-gp inhibitors was observed, and a 7.0-fold (95% CI 2.3-21.5) increased risk in patients treated with atorvastatin. Atorvastatin also increased neurotoxicity by paclitaxel in SH-SY5Y-derived neurons. Clinicians should be aware that comedication with P-gp inhibitors may lead to increased risk of PIPN.
