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

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a frontline chemotherapy drug used in the therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia. However, the clinical use of ATO is hindered by its cardiotoxicity. The present study aimed to observe the potential effects and underlying mechanisms of tannic acid (TA) against ATO‑induced cardiotoxicity. Male rats were intraperitoneally injected with ATO (5 mg/kg/day) to induce cardiotoxicity. TA (20 and 40 mg/kg/day) was administered to evaluate its cardioprotective efficacy against ATO‑induced heart injury in rats. Administration of ATO resulted in pathological damage in the heart and increased oxidative stress as well as levels of serum cardiac biomarkers creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase and the inflammatory marker NF‑κB (p65). Conversely, TA markedly reversed this phenomenon. Additionally, TA treatment caused a notable decrease in the expression levels of cleaved caspase‑3/caspase‑3, Bax, p53 and Bad, while increasing Bcl‑2 expression levels. Notably, the application of TA decreased the expression levels of cytochrome c, second mitochondria‑derived activator of caspases and high‑temperature requirement A2, which are apoptosis mitochondrial‑associated proteins. The present findings indicated that TA protected against ATO‑induced cardiotoxicity, which may be associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial apoptosis.
