Friend or Foe: Xenobiotic Activation of Nrf2 in Disease Control and Cardioprotection.
Review in Pharmaceutical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that governs a highly conserved pathway central to the protection of cells against various oxidative stresses. However, the biological impact of xenobiotic intervention of Nrf2 in physiological and pathophysiological conditions remains debatable. Activation of Nrf2 in cancer cells has been shown to elevate drug resistance and increase cell survival and proliferation, while inhibition of Nrf2 sensitizes cancer cells to drug treatment. On the other hand, activation of Nrf2 in normal healthy cells has been explored as a rather successful strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Selective activation of Nrf2 in off-target cells has recently been investigated as an approach for protecting off-target tissues from untoward drug toxicity. Specifically, induction of antioxidant response element genes via Nrf2 activation in cardiac cells is being explored as a means to limit the well-documented cardiotoxicity accompanied by cancer treatment with commonly prescribed anthracycline drugs. In addition to cancers, Nrf2 has been implicated in many other diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this review, we discuss the roles of Nrf2 and its downstream target genes in the treatment of various diseases, and its recently explored potential for increasing the benefit: risk ratio of commonly utilized cancer treatments.
