Lercanidipine ameliorated doxorubicin-induced neuroinflammation and maintained the expressions of choline acetyltransferase via enhancing the levels of PI3K/AKT/HIF1-α expressions.

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 (DOX) may cause various neurological side effects in the brain. Lercanidipine (LRD) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential benefits of. METHODS AND
resultsLercanidipine in reducing doxorubicin-induced neuroinflammation and maintaining the expressions of choline acetyltransferase. Thirty-two adult Wistar albino female rats were divided into four groups as Control, DOX (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally), DOX + LRD 0.5 (0.5 mg/kg orally), and DOX + LRD2(2 mg/kg orally). Twenty-four hours after the last drug administration (9th day), brain tissues were taken for histopathological, immunohistochemical (choline acetyltransferase [CHAT], interleukin-10 [IL-10], and caspase-3 [Cas-3] staining), biochemical (total antioxidant status [TAS], total oxidant status [TOS], and oxidative stress index [OSI]), and genetic analyzes (PI3K/AKT/HIF1-α and IL-6 gene expressions). Histopathological analyses revealed hyperemia, slight hemorrhage, degeneration, neuronal loss, gliosis in the cerebellum, and neuronal loss in the brain cortex and hippocampus in the DOX group. According to other analyzes, decreased CHAT, PI3K, AKT, HIF1-α and increased IL-6, IL-10, Cas-3 expression were observed in the DOX group.
conclusionsBoth LRD doses reversed all these findings, but LRD2 was observed to be more effective. In conclusion, we determined that LRD has potential therapeutic effect by reducing DOX-induced neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in brain tissues.
