Prevention of cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children: achievements and challenges for evidence-based implementation of sodium Thiosulfate.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ototoxicity is a devastating direct, irreversible side effect of platinum use in children with cancer, with its consequent effect on speech, language and social development, quality of life and adult productivity. Cisplatin, an essential chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of solid tumors in children, is a DNA cross-linking agent. Which causes hearing loss in 50-70% of cisplatin treated children. Fortunately, to prevent hearing loss, sodium thiosulfate (STS), which binds to cisplatin, and reduces the superoxides in both tumor and outer hair cells of the cochlea has now been discovered to be an effective and safe otoprotectant if administered correctly. The aim of this perspective paper is to explore the key safety issues and challenges important for pediatric oncologists and pharmacists when considering the clinical use of STS as an otoprotectant for children and adolescents receiving cisplatin. These include: the choice of the formulation; the timing, both that of the STS in relation to cisplatin as well as the timing of the cisplatin infusion itself; the dosing; the challenge left by the definition of localized versus disseminated disease and the difference in indication for STS, between cisplatin treated patients and those receiving another platinum chemotherapeutic agent, carboplatin.
