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

objectiveWe evaluated the myocardial damage in rats treated with doxorubicin (DOX) alone and in combination with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-four male Sprague Dawley rats (12 weeks old, weighing 262±18 g) were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n=6). Group I was the control group. In Group II, rats were treated with intraperitoneal (ip) injections of 3 mg/kg DOX once a week for 5 weeks. In Group III, rats received weekly ip injections of 30 mg/kg L-NAME (nonspecific NOS inhibitor) 30 min before DOX injections for 5 weeks. In Group IV, rats received weekly ip injections of 3 mg/kg L-NIL (inducible NOS inhibitor) 30 min before DOX injections for 5 weeks. Rats were weighed 2 times a week. At the end of 6 weeks, hearts were excised and then fixed for light and electron microscopy evaluation and tissue lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde). Blood samples were also obtained for measuring plasma lipid peroxidation.

resultsWeight loss was observed in Group II, Group III, and Group IV. Weight loss was statistically significant in the DOX group. Findings of myocardial damage were significantly higher in animals treated with DOX only than in the control group. Histopathological findings of cardiotoxicity in rats treated with DOX in combination with L-NAME and L-NIL were not significantly different compared with the control group. The level of plasma malondialdehyde in the DOX group (9.3±3.4 µmol/L) was higher than those of all other groups.

conclusionOur results showed that DOX cardiotoxicity was significantly decreased when DOX was given with NO synthase inhibitors.
