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 (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent that plays an unparalleled role in cancer treatment. However, its serious dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which eventually contributes to irreversible heart failure, has greatly limited the widespread clinical application of DOX. A previous study has demonstrated that the ribonucleotide reductase M2 subunit (RRM2) exerts salutary effects on promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis and autophagy. However, the specific function of RRM2 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is yet to be determined. This study aimed to elucidate the role and potential mechanism of RRM2 on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by investigating neonatal primary cardiomyocytes and mice treated with DOX. Subsequently, the results indicated that RRM2 expression was significantly reduced in mice hearts and primary cardiomyocytes. Apoptosis and autophagy-related proteins, such as cleaved-Caspase3 (C-Caspase3), LC3B, and beclin1, were distinctly upregulated. Additionally, RRM2 deficiency led to increased autophagy and apoptosis in cells. RRM2 overexpression, on the contrary, alleviated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo and in vitro. Consistently, DIDOX, an inhibitor of RRM2, attenuated the protective effect of RRM2. Mechanistically, we found that AKT/mTOR inhibitors could reverse the function of RRM2 overexpression on DOX-induced autophagy and apoptosis, which means that RRM2 could have regulated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In conclusion, our experiment established that RRM2 could be a potential treatment in reversing DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction.
