Hand therapy interventions for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy of the hands in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Trial report in The oncologist, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05374876 (Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial Comparing Investigational Hand Therapy Intervention to Traditional Occupational Therapy Intervention to Prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy of the Hands in Patients Receiving Albumin Bound Paclitaxel + Gemcitabine Containing Combination Chemotherapy), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a common problem, can impair function and quality of life in patients, potentially limiting chemotherapy and adversely affecting outcomes.
methodsThis trial compared investigational hand therapy intervention (Investigational) compared with a traditional occupational therapy approach (Traditional) to prevent CIPN in patients with pancreatic cancer receiving gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel containing regimens.
resultsforty-nine patients were enrolled with 40 evaluable for statistical analysis (21 Investigational/19 Traditional). CIPN in the hands was reported in 6 patients (28.6%) in Investigational, and 4 (21.1%) in Traditional P = .721. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a mean time-to-event of 76.0 days (90% CI: 68.5, 83.6), and 75.8 (90% CI: 68.5, 83.2) days respectively, P = .614. Fifteen patients in each group (78.9% Traditional, 71.4% in Investigational) were censored as they did not develop CIPN. No correlation was found between CIPN risk and age, sex, BMI, disease stage, performance status, or chemotherapy dose.
conclusionSeventy-four percent of patients receiving gemcitabine, albumin-bound paclitaxel, and cisplatin did not develop CIPN of the hands by day 84. There was no statistical difference in time to onset of CIPN between the two groups. Early adaption of occupational therapy may prevent early onset CIPN in chemotherapy patients.
