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

Sex differences in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases have drawn increasing attention. However, it remains unclear whether such differences exist in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. Here, we conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical case data and found that peripheral sensory disorders occurred earlier in females than in males following bortezomib (BTZ) treatment in patients with multiple myeloma. BTZ treatment led to an early elevation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, which triggered the infiltration of peripheral monocytes into the perivascular region of the spinal cord in female mice. The CC-chemokine ligand 1 released by infiltrating macrophages directly activated neurons or indirectly activated neurons by enhancing the astrocyte activity, ultimately leading to the earlier onset of BTZ-induced neuropathic pain in females. Together, clarifying the mechanism underlying the earlier onset of BTZ-induced neuropathic pain will contribute to the precise treatment of multiple myeloma in females.
