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

Doxorubicin is an important anticancer drug in the clinic. Unfortunately, it causes cumulative and dose-dependent cardiotoxic side effects. As the population of cancer survivors who have been exposed to treatment continues to grow, there is increased interest in assessing the long-term cardiac effects of doxorubicin and understanding the underlying mechanisms at play. In this study, we investigated doxorubicin-induced transcriptomic changes using RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) and a cellular model comprised of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Analyses of predicted upstream regulators identified the p53 protein as a key regulator of transcriptomic changes induced by doxorubicin. Clustering and pathway analyses showed that increased death receptor (DR) expression and enrichment of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway are significantly associated with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Increased expression of p53 and DRs were confirmed via immunoblotting. Our data pinpoints increased DR expression as an early transcriptomic indicator of cardiotoxicity, suggesting that DR expression might function as a predictive biomarker for cardiac damage.
