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

objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the factors influencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in breast cancer patients, identify modifiable factors, and provide a theoretical basis for targeted interventions.

methodsA total of 542 patients with breast cancer who were hospitalized for chemotherapy in multiple hospitals from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected as the study objects. Data were collected using questionnaires covering demographic characteristics, disease-related information, lifestyle, and psychological status. Lasso-logistic regression was employed to identify influencing factors, and a random forest model was used to rank the importance of variables.

resultsLasso-logistic regression analysis identified age, BMI, cumulative chemotherapy dose, hypertension, physical activity level, and depression as significant factors associated with CIPN (P < 0.05). The variable importance ranking from the random forest model was as follows: age, BMI, cumulative chemotherapy dose, physical activity, hypertension, and depression.

conclusionEarly identification of high-risk CIPN patients is crucial for guiding clinical nursing practices. These findings provide a foundation for the management and intervention of CIPN in breast cancer patients.
