Review in Molecular neurobiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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.

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

Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) is one of the major adverse effects of antineoplastic drugs, which decrease the quality of life in cancer survivors. Extensive experimental and clinical research suggests that chemotherapeutic drugs generate an enormous amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal death, eventually leading to CICI. Despite the progress in exploring different pathological mechanisms of CICI, effective treatment to prevent CICI progression has not been developed yet. Nrf2 is the principal transcription factor that regulates cellular redox balance and inflammation-related gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests that upregulation of Nrf2 and its target genes could suppress oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, restore BBB integrity, and increase neurogenesis. This review discusses the role of Nrf2 in CICI, how it responds to oxidative stress, inflammation, neurotoxicity, and potential Nrf2 activators that could be used to enhance Nrf2 activation in CICI.
