Tolerance for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among women with metastatic breast cancer: a discrete-choice experiment.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo quantify preferences for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) risks and survival benefits of continuing neurotoxic chemotherapy and explore differences in preferences by race among women with metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
methodsWomen with mBC and CIPN experience completed a discrete-choice experiment that included 12 choice tasks presenting paired profiles that varied four attributes across three levels each: progression-free survival (PFS) (6, 12, 24 months), neuropathy in hands (mild, moderate, severe), neuropathy in feet (mild, moderate, severe), and neuropathy persistence (short-term, long-term, permanent). Aggregate and exploratory stratified (White versus non-White) conditional logit models were estimated from which patients' minimum acceptable benefit was calculated using the willingness-to-pay approach.
resultsWomen (n = 189) were on average 52.5 years and 47.1% were non-White. Fewer women who were non-White held a bachelor's degree or higher (p < 0.01) and reported a household income of $85,000 or higher (p = 0.03). In both the aggregate and the stratified analyses, women preferred longer duration of PFS, less severe CIPN in hands and feet, and shorter CIPN duration. In aggregate, respondents were willing to tolerate a one-level increase in neuropathy severity (mild to moderate or moderate to severe) in their hands and feet in exchange for 6.7 and 2.9 months of PFS, respectively. In exchange for 9.3 months of PFS, respondents were willing to tolerate a one-level increase in neuropathy persistence (short-term to long-term or long-term to permanent). Exploratory stratified analysis showed that non-White women had different preferences from White women (p < 0.01), with non-White women requiring more months of PFS benefit to tolerate increases in neuropathy severity and duration compared to White women.
conclusionWomen with mBC favored longer duration of progression-free survival, less severe CIPN in hands and feet, and shorter CIPN duration. Different preferences by race warrant additional future investigation.
