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

backgroundOxaliplatin is widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for treating various cancers, including colorectal cancer. However, oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy diminishes the quality of life of patients. Thus, the development of preventive or therapeutic drugs for oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy is urgently needed. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether PC-SOD, a derivative of SOD with higher stability in plasma and higher affinity for tissues, could prevent oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.

resultsPC-SOD significantly attenuated oxaliplatin-induced neurite damage and reduced oxaliplatin-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cultured PC12 cells. In a rat model, PC-SOD reduced oxaliplatin-induced mechanical allodynia, cold hyperalgesia, and morphological damage to intraepidermal nerve fibers and dorsal root ganglion. Furthermore, PC-SOD did not significantly affect the antitumor effects of oxaliplatin in cultured tumor cells or in tumor cell-implanted mice.

conclusionThese findings indicated that PC-SOD alleviated oxaliplatin-induced mechanical allodynia, cold hyperalgesia, and neural damage without significantly affecting the antitumor activity of oxaliplatin. Therefore, PC-SOD is a promising drug candidate for the prevention of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.
