All-trans-retinoic acid ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: in vivo potential involvement of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis via caspase-3 and p53 down-expression.

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.
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
The present study aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA, a natural derivative of vitamin A) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced in vivo cardiac toxicity and its underlying mechanisms. Forty male albino rats were allocated into control, ATRA (0.5 mg/kg bwt, intraperitoneally daily), DOX (2.5 mg/kg bwt, intraperitoneally twice weekly for 3 weeks), and DOX + ATRA groups. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-cardiac type (CK-MB), troponin I, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured. In addition, cardiac glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. Cardiac tissues were examined for histopathologic changes and immunoexpression of pro-apoptotic caspase 3 and tumor-suppressor p53 proteins. DOX caused severe myocardial damage; degenerative and necrotic changes and worsened cardiac function biomarkers; and elevated serum LDH, CK, CK-MB, and troponin I. In addition, DOX inhibited cardiac antioxidative enzymes (GSH, GSH-Px, SOD, CAT) activities and enhanced MDA level. DOX increased serum proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and area percent of caspase 3 and p53 immunoexpression in heart tissues. Pretreatment with ATRA maintained cardiac function biomarkers, and reduced proinflammatory cytokines, lipid peroxidation, and immunoexpression of caspase 3 and p53. Moreover, ATRA improved cardiac histoarchitecture, as well as the activities of antioxidative enzymes. Collectively, ATRA can counteract DOX-induced cardiomyopathy through antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, besides suppression of the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.
