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

Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of oral formulation of nano-curcumin in prevention of some chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions. Materials and Methods: In this study, 84 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were randomly assigned into the nano-curcumin (40 mg capsule) or placebo groups, receiving treatments three times daily, beginning the first day to the end of the sixth cycle of chemotherapy. To investigate various adverse events, including hematologic adverse reactions, diarrhea, hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and neuropathy, the criteria of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5 were implemented after the third and sixth course. Results: The CTCAE peripheral neuropathy score was significantly different between the two groups at the end of the 6 Conclusion: Nano-curcumin in dose of 40 mg thrice daily was not effective in prevention of neuropathy, HFS and hematologic adverse reactions induced by XELOX/FOLFOX-6 regimens. Further research with larger sample size on different nano-curcumin dosing schedules is suggested.
