Comparative Evaluation of Captopril, Spironolactone, and Carvedilol Effect on Endothelial Function in Breast Cancer Women Undergoing Chemotherapy.

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
Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in females which needs chemotherapy treatment. Studies demonstrated that anti-cancer agents used for chemotherapy in cancer patient causes endothelium dysfunction. Several researches showed the efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, Carvedilol and Spironolactone on improving endothelial function. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the combination of Spironolactone, Carvedilol, and Captopril on endothelial function in breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This study is a prospective Randomized Clinical Trial in breast cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy. Patients were divided into two groups who received the combination of Captopril, Spironolactone, and Carvedilol or standard regimen for 3 months during chemotherapy. Before and after intervention, ejection fraction (EF), E/A ratio and e' and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) properties were calculated and then compared. Results: Fifty-eight patients with a mean age of 47.57 ± 9.46 years were evaluated. The mean FMD after the intervention is statistically different in case and controls (<0.001). E/A ratio and e' are not statistically different between groups after intervention. The mean EF was not statistically different between the two groups after intervention. Conclusion: Prescribing combination of Carvedilol, Spironolactone, and Captopril in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can improve endothelial function and may have beneficial effects on diastolic function.
