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

backgroundChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating acute and long-term toxicity in cancer patients. We sought to describe the landscape of CIPN research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and identify gaps and opportunities.

methodsUsing the NIH Query View Report system, we identified 180 competitive grants between 2014-2023 containing text pertaining to CIPN in the Abstract or Specific Aims. These were categorized as preclinical, clinical, or both and described by preclinical model, clinical population, CIPN assessments, and/or clinical trial design. We identified 5 additional NCI-funded trials through the NCORP network pertaining to CIPN.

resultsOf 185 studies, 125 were preclinical, 56 clinical, and 4 both preclinical/clinical. Among preclinical studies, most studies used rodent CIPN models, of which 17% were tumor-bearing. Most preclinical studies investigated paclitaxel; none studied newer immune therapies. The 60 clinical studies were 53% observational and 47% interventional, focusing most frequently on breast cancer, unspecified cancers, and colorectal cancer diagnoses. Overall, 8% included patients <18 years, whereas a higher proportion included those 18-39 (85%), 40-64 (90%), and ≥65 (92%). Among 28 interventional trials, studies investigated behavioral interventions (39%), pharmacological agents (32%), and devices (29%).

conclusionsThe number of CIPN grants awarded by NIH since 2014 represents a substantial investment, but critical gaps and opportunities remain. Preclinically, novel strategies to mimic human CIPN may improve translatability. Important gaps in CIPN-associated cancer diagnoses and therapy exposures, including novel agents, would benefit from future research. Also, clinical studies are needed in young patients with potential long-term CIPN.
