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

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is widely used to treat clinical malignant tumors, but it is also accompanied by serious adverse reactions, such as brain nervous system injury. In clinical treatment and animal experiments, traditional Chinese medicine formula ( Methods: A subcutaneous model of non-small cell lung cancer was established in mice, which were subsequently treated with YFSJ to evaluate the mechanism by which YFSJ alleviates DDP-induced chemobrain. Specifically, the effects of DDP and YFSJ on the brain nervous system of mice were evaluated by behavioral tests, brain blood flow observation, network pharmacology analysis, and histological analysis. In addition, the damaging effect of DDP on neurons and the effect of YFSJ on neurons were verified by Results: YFSJ reduced systemic inflammation in tumor-bearing mice, restored the function of the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) to reduce the amount of cisplatin in the brain, alleviated the decreases in voluntary activity and brain blood flow microcirculation induced by DDP, and alleviated brain tissue pyroptosis and ferroptosis caused by DDP. Conclusions: YFSJ maintains the functional stability of the BBB by inhibiting tumor-induced inflammation, thereby preventing chemobrain induced by nervous system damage caused by DDP entering brain tissue.
