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

Cardiotoxicity remains a serious problem in anthracycline-treated oncologic patients. Therapeutic modulation of microRNA expression is emerging as a cardioprotective approach in several cardiovascular pathologies. MiR-34a increased in animals and patients exposed to anthracyclines and is involved in cardiac repair. In our previous study, we demonstrated beneficial effects of miR-34a silencing in rat cardiac cells exposed to doxorubicin (DOXO). The aim of the present work is to evaluate the potential cardioprotective properties of a specific antimiR-34a (Ant34a) in an experimental model of DOXO-induced cardiotoxicity. Results indicate that in our model systemic administration of Ant34a completely silences miR-34a myocardial expression and importantly attenuates DOXO-induced cardiac dysfunction. Ant34a systemic delivery in DOXO-treated rats triggers an upregulation of prosurvival miR-34a targets Bcl-2 and SIRT1 that mediate a reduction of DOXO-induced cardiac damage represented by myocardial apoptosis, senescence, fibrosis and inflammation. These findings suggest that miR-34a therapeutic inhibition may have clinical relevance to attenuate DOXO-induced toxicity in the heart of oncologic patients.
