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

backgroundPlatinum compounds are a group of fundamental chemotherapeutics used in the treatment of solid tumors, but they are burdened by side effects, such as ototoxicity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of ototoxicity caused by platinum compounds and the risk factors affecting its appearance/progression.

methodsData from 53 patients who received platinum compounds and who had been off therapy for at least 5 years were analyzed. We collected data relating to audiometry conducted annually from the end of treatment and for at least 5 subsequent years, as well as information concerning the oncological history and comorbidities.

resultsAt the end of the treatment, 17 patients (32.08%) presented ototoxicity, according to the Boston SIOP Ototoxicity Scale; the risk factors included a higher serum creatinine value at diagnosis, having undergone cranial radiotherapy, and needing magnesium supplementation. After 5 years from the end of the treatment, the number of patients with exhibiting ototoxicity was 31 (58.5%); the factors that influenced the onset/progression of the damage were having undergone radiotherapy (HR 1.23;

conclusionsOtotoxicity caused by platinum compounds can occur even after the conclusion of the treatments, and the factors affecting its progression are radiotherapy and the aminoglycosides therapy.
