Effectiveness of Proanthocyanidin plus Trimetazidine in the Treatment of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with Radiation Heart Injury.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
This study was intended to explore the effect of proanthocyanidin (PC) combined with trimetazidine in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with radiation-induced heart damage (RIHD). It was a prospective randomized controlled study that 86 NSCLC patients with radiation treatment in Cangzhou People's Hospital from January 2019 and June 2021 were enrolled and randomized to either the control group or the study group via the random table method, 43 cases in each group. The control group received trimetazidine, and the study group additionally received PC. The incidence of RIHD-related clinical manifestation, RIHD-related ECG, and RIHD-related cardiac ultrasound change were all lower in the study group. After radiotherapy, the serum level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was higher, and malondialdehyde (MDA) was lower in the study group when compared with the control group. After radiotherapy, the serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and creatine kinase isoenzymes (CKMB) were all lower in the study group when compared with the control group. The efficacy of PC plus trimetazidine for NSCLC with RIHD is superior to trimetazidine alone, and it significantly mitigates radiation-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress.
