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

Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent with proven efficacy in treating various malignancies, including testicular, ovarian, cervical, breast, bladder, head and neck, and lung cancer. Cisplatin is also used to treat tumors in children, such as neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma. However, its clinical use is limited by severe side effects, including ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, and retinal toxicity. Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity manifests as irreversible, bilateral, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss in 40-60% of adults and in up to 60% of children. Hearing loss can lead to social isolation, depression, and cognitive decline in adults, and speech and language developmental delays in children. Cisplatin causes hair cell death by forming DNA adducts, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, culminating in programmed cell death by apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, or ferroptosis. Contemporary medical interventions for cisplatin ototoxicity are limited to prosthetic devices, such as hearing aids, but these have significant limitations because the cochlea remains damaged. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first therapy, sodium thiosulfate, to prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss in pediatric patients with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. Other pharmacological treatments for cisplatin ototoxicity are in various stages of preclinical and clinical development. This narrative review aims to highlight the molecular mechanisms involved in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, focusing on cochlear inflammation, and shed light on potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapeutic interventions to prevent or mitigate the ototoxic effects of cisplatin. We conducted a comprehensive literature search (Google Scholar, PubMed) focusing on publications in the last five years.
