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

The care of individual patients requiring anthracyclines remains challenging as uncertainty persists on predictors of cardiotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to identify potential candidate blood indicators of doxorubicin-induced heart failure. The gene expression profiles of GSE40447 and GSE9128 microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the R/Limma package or GEO2R. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis on DEGs were performed using DAVID database. The cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related DEGs were screen out based on the CardioGenBase database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed with STRING database and visualized by using Cytoscape. Then, the CVD-related DEGs were validated by intersection analysis with DEGs in GSE9128. The overlapping DEGs with a consistent expression pattern in GSE40447 and GSE9128 were identified as candidate indicators for doxorubicin-induced heart failure. A total of 516 DEGs potentially associated with doxorubicin-induced heart failure in GSE40447 were identified, which were mainly enriched in the gene ontology terms related to B cells, leukocytes, lymphocyte activation and B cell receptor signaling pathway. Of the DEGs, 42 were screened out as CVD-related DEGs by using CardioGenBase. Seven genes with high connectivity degree were presented in the PPI network. Finally, 5/6 CVD-related DEGs revealed by the intersection analysis were validated by GSE9128 and highlighted as candidate indicators of doxorubicin-induced heart failure: CD163, CD28, SLC25A20, ANPEP and TLR5. Several genes, including the 5 previously mentioned, were proposed as potential candidate blood indicators for doxorubicin-induced heart failure. Further experimental validations are greatly warranted for future clinical application.
