Possible prevention of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy by concomitant use of α1-receptor antagonist based on a retrospective study.

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
purposePaclitaxel and albumin-bound paclitaxel are important anticancer drugs for the treatment of non-small cell lung, pancreatic, gastric, and gynecological cancers; however, they cause peripheral neuropathy as an adverse reaction. Therefore, prophylaxis and treatment for peripheral neuropathy are needed, since there are no sufficient evidence-based strategies to prevent it. Our previous animal research and adverse effect database analysis studies have identified the potential of α1 antagonists to attenuate paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prophylactic potential of α1 antagonists for PIPN in patients with cancer.
methodsData were collected from the medical records of 673 male patients aged 18 years and older who started treatment with paclitaxel- or albumin-bound paclitaxel-containing regimens at Kyushu University Hospital between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2019. The two primary outcome measures were PIPN occurrence and paclitaxel discontinuation due to PIPN. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated for cumulative doses and evaluated using the log-rank test.
resultsThe percentage of patients in whom PIPN occurred (any grade) during the entire study period was 37.4% and 20.0% in without and with α1-receptor antagonist groups, respectively (P = 0.0101, χ
conclusionsThe present retrospective cohort study may suggest that concomitant use of α1-receptor antagonists may moderate the development of PIPN.
