Targeting dorsal root ganglia for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: from bench to bedside.
Review in Therapeutic advances in neurological disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating condition affecting an increasing number of cancer survivors worldwide. However, insights into its pathophysiology and availability of effective therapies remain lacking. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) have been studied as a key component of chemotherapeutic drug toxicity and a potential therapeutic target for CIPN treatment. This comprehensive review aims to synthesize, summarize, and correlate the results of both preclinical and clinical studies relevant to the pathophysiology and management of CIPN in relation to the DRG. Design: Review. A thorough literature search was conducted using the terms 'dorsal root ganglion' and 'chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy', along with appropriate variations. Searched databases included PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Library, Wiley Library, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria targeted all English language, peer-reviewed original research from the inception of these databases to the present year. Review articles, book chapters, and other nonoriginal publications were excluded. Of 134 relevant studies identified, the majority were preclinical studies elucidating how various chemotherapeutic agents, especially taxanes, disrupt neurotransmission, inflammatory processes, and apoptotic pathways within sensory neurons of DRG. Not only do these effects correlate with the presentation of CIPN, but their disruption has also been shown to reduce CIPN symptoms in preclinical models. However, clinical studies addressing DRG interventions are very limited in number and scope at this time. These results reveal various pathways within DRG that may be effective targets for CIPN treatment. While limited, clinical studies do offer promise in the utility of DRG neuromodulation in managing painful CIPN. In the future, clinical trials are needed to assess interventions aimed at these neuronal and nonneuronal pathological targets to better treat this complex condition.
