Effects of Vitamin E on Doxorubicin Cytotoxicity in Human Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate in vitro synergistic anticancer effect of doxorubicin combined with Vitamin E.
methodsThe MTT assay was utilized to assess the cytotoxicity of Vitamin E and vitamin E combined with doxorubicin and vital activities of SKBR3, MDA-MB-231, and HFF cells over a 24-hour incubation period. In addition, the antioxidant properties of these interventions and the decrease of reactive oxygen species (ROS) content caused by the treatment were evaluated.
resultsThe antiproliferative effect of doxorubicin increased significantly in combination with vitamin E (Doxcorobicin 2µM vs. Vitamin E 120µM, P=0.000). Despite reducing cell ROS content due to vitamin E treatment, the combination of vitamin E and doxorubicin showed no significant synergistic effect (Doxcorobicin 2µM vs. Vitamin E 120µM, P=0.998).
conclusionThis study indicated that the doxorubicin-vitamin E treatment reduced the viability of breast cancer cells with the minimum side effects on normal cells. In addition, the high dosage of vitamin E intensified the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin.
