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

backgroundChemotherapy can induce cellular senescence and a secretory phenotype characterized by an increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and MCP-1. Increased IL-6 and MCP-1 serum concentrations have been documented in dogs with lymphoma, but no studies have evaluated the effects of chemotherapy on cytokine concentrations.

objectivesTo measure IL-6 and MCP-1 in 16 client-owned dogs with lymphoma, at baseline and before and after doxorubicin, as a potential marker for senescence and correlate cytokine concentrations with treatment response and toxicities.

methodsSerum IL-6 and MCP-1 concentrations at baseline, 0-h, 3-h, 6-h, 24-h and 1 week post doxorubicin were measured using a canine ELISA. We hypothesized that IL-6 and MCP-1 concentrations would increase following doxorubicin as a result of induction of cellular senescence.

resultsIL-6 concentrations were unchanged from baseline to 0-h but significantly decreased 1 week post doxorubicin (p = 0.001) compared to 0-6 h (p = 0.045) and 24-h (p = 0.001) time points. MCP-1 concentrations significantly decreased from baseline to 0-h (p = 0.003). Compared to 0-6 h, MCP-1 concentrations transiently increased at 24-h (p = 0.001) and decreased at 1 week (p = 0.014) post doxorubicin. Changes in IL-6 and MCP-1 concentrations did not correlate with leukocyte count, response to treatment or chemotherapy toxicities.

conclusionsChanges in IL-6 and MCP-1 concentrations did not support doxorubicin-induced cellular senescence or correlate with leukocyte count, response to treatment or chemotherapy toxicity. However, our results suggest that remission status and doxorubicin treatment may influence cytokine concentrations and future studies are warranted to investigate the role of these cytokines as biomarkers.
