Essential Amino Acids-Rich Diet Increases Cardiomyocytes Protection in Doxorubicin-Treated Mice.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundDoxorubicin (Doxo) is a widely prescribed drug against many malignant cancers. Unfortunately, its utility is limited by its toxicity, in particular a progressive induction of congestive heart failure. Doxo acts primarily as a mitochondrial toxin, with consequent increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attendant oxidative stress, which drives cardiac dysfunction and cell death. A diet containing a special mixture of all essential amino acids (EAAs) has been shown to increase mitochondriogenesis, and reduce oxidative stress both in skeletal muscle and heart. So, we hypothesized that such a diet could play a favorable role in preventing Doxo-induced cardiomyocyte damage.
methodsUsing transmission electron microscopy, we evaluated cells' morphology and mitochondria parameters in adult mice. In addition, by immunohistochemistry, we evaluated the expression of pro-survival marker Klotho, as well as markers of necroptosis (RIP1/3), inflammation (TNFα, IL1, NFkB), and defense against oxidative stress (SOD1, glutathione peroxidase, citrate synthase).
resultsDiets with excess essential amino acids (EAAs) increased the expression of Klotho and enhanced anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory responses, thereby promoting cell survival.
conclusionOur results further extend the current knowledge about the cardioprotective role of EAAs and provide a novel theoretical basis for their preemptive administration to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to alleviate the development and severity of Doxo-induced cardiomyopathy.
