Review in JCO oncology practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07553481 (Chemotherapy-Induced Hearing Loss and Health Inequality), which is not on this map. Cited by 56 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Cisplatin is a bedrock of cancer management and one of the most used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of germ cell, lung, bladder, ovarian, and head and neck cancers. Approximately 500,000 patients diagnosed annually with these cancer types in the United States could be candidates for treatment with cisplatin. There is a 5-fold increase in the risk of hearing impairment or ototoxicity with cisplatin, which can manifest as ringing in the ear (tinnitus), high-frequency hearing loss, and at late stages, a decreased ability to hear normal conversation. More than half of adult and pediatric patients with cancer treated with cisplatin developed hearing impairment with major impact on patients' health-related quality of life. A considerable evidence gap persists regarding the burden and effective prevention and interception strategies for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, especially in adult patients with cancer. We conducted a review of the published literature to provide an update on the status of this important clinical challenge. We also surveyed practicing oncologists within our network of academic and community practices to gain a better understanding of how the published literature compares with real-world practice. Our review of the literature showed a lack of standardized guidelines for monitoring and treatment of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, especially in the adult cancer patient population. Our survey of practicing oncologists mirrored the findings from the published literature with a heterogeneity of practice, which highlights the need for standardization.
