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

Ovarian injury caused by chemotherapy can lead to early menopause, infertility, and even premature senility in female cancer patients, impairing the quality of life and overall health of the cancer survivors seriously. However, there is still a lack of effective protection strategies against such injury. Cellular senescence can be induced by chemotherapeutic agents in multiple organs and may corrode the structure and function of normal tissues. We hypothesized that the widely used first-line chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, could increase senescent cell burden in normal ovarian tissue during the therapeutic process and that elimination of senescent cells with senolytics would ameliorate doxorubicin-induced ovarian injury. Here, we demonstrated an accumulation of cellular senescence in doxorubicin-treated ovaries through detecting p16 and p21 expression levels and senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity as well as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors. Short-term intervention with the classic senolytic combination dasatinib and quercetin (DQ) or fisetin significantly reduced the load of senescent cells in ovaries after doxorubicin treatment. However, neither DQ nor fisetin alleviated doxorubicin-related ovarian dysfunction. Further experiments showed that ovarian apoptosis and fibrosis following doxorubicin exposure could not be improved by senolytics. Collectively, our study shows that senolytic treatment can eliminate accumulated senescent cells, but cannot reverse the massive follicle loss and ovarian stromal fibrosis caused by doxorubicin, suggesting that cellular senescence may not be one of the key mechanisms in doxorubicin-induced ovarian injury.
