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

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects 29%-68% of patients undergoing anticancer treatments within the first month. Traditional cryotherapy methods, such as frozen gloves, can pose risks. This study evaluates the cool-water electric circulation seat (CECS), which maintains a constant 15°C, as a safer alternative. Methods: In this prospective study, 21 healthy Japanese adults underwent 2.5 hours of hand cooling at 15°C, reflecting the standard duration of taxane anticancer drug administration. Microcirculation was evaluated using videocapillaroscopy before and after cooling. Results: Results showed significant reductions in blood vessel area and altered red blood cell movement postcooling. Finger temperature and vascular area decreased significantly ( Conclusions: The CECS effectively provides secure cooling, offering a promising approach for CIPN prevention without frostbite risk. These findings highlight the potential advantages of CECS in sustained cooling therapy for CIPN prevention.
