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

Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, such as zidovudine (azidothymidine, AZT) and stavudine, represent a class of approved antiretroviral agents for highly active antiretroviral therapy, which prolongs the life expectancy of patients infected with human-immunodeficiency virus. Unfortunately, the use of these drugs is associated with known toxicities in the liver, skeletal muscle, heart and other organs, which may involve increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, among other mechanisms. Resveratrol is a polyphenolic plant-derived antioxidant abundantly found in certain grapes, roots, berries, peanuts and red wine. This study, using primary human cardiomyocytes, evaluated the effects of AZT and pre-treatment with resveratrol on mitochondrial ROS generation and the cell death pathways. AZT induced concentration-dependent cell death, involving both caspase-3 and -7 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation, coupled with increased mitochondrial ROS generation in human cardiomyocytes. These effects of AZT on mitochondrial ROS generation and cell death may be attenuated by resveratrol pre-treatment. The results demonstrate that mitochondrial ROS generation plays a pivotal role in the cardiotoxicity of AZT in human cardiomyocytes, and resveratrol may provide a potential strategy to attenuate these pathological alterations, which are associated with widely used antiretroviral therapy.
