Curcumin suppresses doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis via a PI3K/Akt/mTOR-dependent manner.
Article in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 114 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDoxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective anti-neoplastic drugs although its clinical use is limited by the severe cardiotoxicity. Apoptosis and defective autophagy are believed to contribute to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Here we explored the effect of curcumin (Cur) on DOX-induced cardiac injury and the mechanism involved with a focus on oxidative stress, autophagy and pyroptosis.
methodsKunming mice were challenged with DOX (3 mg·kg
resultsOur study showed that Cur protected against cardiotoxicity manifested by a significant decrease in serum myocardial enzymes and improvement of anti-oxidative capacity. Cur inhibited autophagy and offered overt benefit for cardiomyocyte survive against DOX-induced toxicity. Cur attenuated DOX-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis as evidenced by NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, and interleukin-18 levels. DOX impaired cardiac function (reduced fractional shortening, ejection fraction, increased plasma cTnI level and TR90, decreased PS and ± dL/dt), the effects of which were overtly reconciled by 100 mg·kg
conclusionsOur finding suggested that Cur rescued against DOX-induced cardiac injury probably through regulation of autophagy and pyroptosis in a mTOR-dependent manner.
