Memantine ameliorates oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity via mitochondrial protection.

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
Oxaliplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of malignant tumors. However, severe oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity has been well documented. Memantine is a drug for the management of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) due to its promising neuroprotective properties. We hypothesize that Memantine possesses a beneficial role against chemotherapy-induced neuronal damages. In this study, we established an oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity assay model in human SHSY-5Y neuronal cells and investigated the protective effect of Memantine. We showed that Memantine treatment ameliorated oxaliplatin-elevated intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid product malondialdehyde (MDA), and NOX-2 expression. Memantine alleviated impairment of the mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production by oxaliplatin. As a result, Memantine showed a protective role against oxaliplatin-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, the terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) apoptosis assay revealed that Memantine protected oxaliplatin-induced apoptosis through mitigating the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 cleavage. We concluded Memantine ameliorated the neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin in a mitochondrial-dependent pathway.
