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

Treatment of thoracic tumors with radiotherapy can lead to severe cardiac injury. We investigated the effects of dexrazoxane, a USFDA-approved cardioprotective drug administered with chemotherapy, on radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) in a rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were irradiated with a single dose of 20 Gy to the heart and treated with dexrazoxane at the time of irradiation and for 12 subsequent weeks. Dexrazoxane suppressed radiation-induced myocardial apoptosis and significantly reversed changes in serum cardiac troponin I levels and histopathological characteristics six months post-radiation. Treatment with dexrazoxane did not alter the radiosensitivity of thoracic tumors in a tumor formation experiment using male nude Balb/C mice with tumors generated by H292 cells. Dexrazoxane reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in rat cardiac tissues, but not in tumors in nude mice. Transcriptome sequencing showed that
