Combined Exercise Therapy and Alternating Magnetic Field Therapy for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in a Rectal Cancer Survivor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and often persistent adverse effect of several anticancer agents, leading to impaired physical function and quality of life. Although exercise therapy and physical modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation have been reported to alleviate CIPN symptoms, the efficacy of alternating magnetic field therapy remains unclear. We here report a rectal cancer survivor who experienced difficulty returning to work due to persistent neuropathic symptoms of CIPN. A combination of exercise therapy and alternating magnetic field therapy improved the patient's physical function and pain, ultimately enabling his return to work. This case highlights the potential utility of combining rehabilitation and alternating magnetic field therapy in CIPN management.
