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

Due to the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX), its clinical application is limited. Lipid peroxidation caused by excessive ferrous iron is believed to be a key molecular mechanism of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC). Dexrazoxane (DXZ), an iron chelator, is the only drug approved by the FDA for reducing DIC, but it has many side effects and cannot be used as a preventive drug in clinical practice. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) analysis identified myocardial and epithelial cells that are susceptible to DOX-induced ferroptosis. The glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activator selenomethione (SeMet) significantly reduced polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and oxidized lipid levels in vitro. Consistently, SeMet significantly decreased DOX-induced lipid peroxidation in H9C2 cells and mortality in C57BL/6 mice compared to DXZ, ferrostatin-1, and normal saline. SeMet can effectively reduce serum markers of cardiac injury in C57BL/6 mice and breast cancer patients. Depletion of the GPX4 gene in C57BL/6 mice resulted in an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels and eliminated the protective effect of SeMet against DIC. Notably, SeMet exerted antitumor effects on breast cancer models with DOX while providing cardiac protection for the same animal without detectable toxicities. These findings suggest that pharmacological activation of GPX4 is a valuable and promising strategy for preventing the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin.
