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

Chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment, commonly referred to as "chemobrain," significantly affects cancer survivors' quality of life, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Most chemotherapeutic agents cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), yet they cause central nervous system side effects, suggesting alternative pathways of toxicity. Given that these drugs interact with the cerebrovascular endothelium at their highest concentrations, it is logical to hypothesize that endothelial damage contributes to these effects. Our recent studies demonstrated that paclitaxel-induced cognitive impairment in a mouse model results in a partial BBB disruption and subsequent neuroinflammation, mediated by chemotherapy-induced endothelial senescence. In this pilot study, we used two-photon microscopy to assess BBB permeability in mice receiving a clinically relevant cisplatin regimen, evaluating the leakage of fluorescent dextran tracers of varying molecular weights. Two months post-treatment, cisplatin-treated mice exhibited significantly increased BBB permeability to smaller molecular tracers (40 kDa, 3 kDa, and 0.3 kDa) compared to controls, indicating sustained BBB disruption. These results align with our findings for paclitaxel and suggest that chemotherapy-induced endothelial damage and senescence play a central role in cognitive impairments. Interventions targeting endothelial health could mitigate these long-term effects, improving cognitive outcomes for cancer survivors.
