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

Introduction: Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors have shown effectiveness in preclinical models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a severe side effect of various antineoplastic drugs, with no available preventive or therapeutic treatments. This study presents in vivo results for ITF6464 and ITF6475, 2 HDAC6 inhibitors featuring a difluoromethyloxadiazole (DFMO), zinc-binding group ensuring selectivity for HDAC6. Objectives: This study investigated the potential effect of 2 new selective DFMO HDAC6 inhibitors in preventive and curative settings in a well-established CIPN model. Methods: The effectiveness of treatments was evaluated by dynamic test and histological analysis on dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and skin biopsy. The acetylation of tubulin was also investigated in sciatic nerve by western blot. Results: ITF6464 and ITF6475 administered at 12.5 mg/kg dose prevented cisplatin-induced mechanical allodynia (*** Conclusions: These studies highlight the potential of the new selective HDAC6 inhibitors ITF6464 and ITF6475 as promising treatments for CIPN.
