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: Oxaliplatin, in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin, is a standard treatment for colorectal cancer and shows high efficacy. However, oxaliplatin induces side effects, such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and myelosuppression, which may lead to dose reduction, temporary drug withdrawal, or discontinuation. Lecithinized superoxide dismutase (PC-SOD) is a drug delivery system formulation with improved blood stability and tissue affinity for SOD. A phase II clinical trial of PC-SOD for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy has been conducted, and its efficacy has been confirmed for certain parameters. Methods: In this study, we focused on myelosuppression, a major side effect of oxaliplatin, and aimed to elucidate the preventive effect of PC-SOD in a murine model of myelosuppression. Results: Oxaliplatin administration decreased the white blood cell, platelet, and red blood cell counts and hemoglobin levels in the whole blood of mice. PC-SOD treatment significantly restored the oxaliplatin-dependent reduction in white blood cell count (day 10). The gene expression of cytokines involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation and proliferation, including colony-stimulating factor (CSF)2, CSF3, interleukin (IL)-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, and stem cell factor, was also decreased by oxaliplatin administration. In contrast, PC-SOD treatment markedly restored the gene expression of these cytokines. Conclusion: These results suggest that PC-SOD exerts an antioxidant effect and prevents oxaliplatin-induced myelosuppression, particularly in a murine model of leukopenia.
