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

Doxorubicin belongs to the class of anthracycline antibiotics that is widely used in the treatment protocols of a wide range of malignancies. The major deleterious effect of doxorubicin use is the possible occurrence of cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to delineate the possible effects of targeting oxidative stress, NLRP3 inflammasome, and autophagy by fraxetin on doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction in rats. In a model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, the effects of different doses of fraxetin were assessed by determination of biochemical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic changes. Fraxetin, in a dose-dependent manner, was found to have the ability to mitigate the harmful effects of oxidative stress and inflammation on myocardial muscles with significant decrease in NLRP3 inflammasome, augmentation of autophagy, and amelioration of the apoptotic signaling pathways. In addition, fraxetin, in a dose-dependent manner, had the ability to combat the echocardiographic, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic changes induced by doxorubicin in cardiomyocytes. As a result, fraxetin may be put into consideration as a new adjuvant line of therapy on the way to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
