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

Introduction: Doxorubicin (dox) is classified as an antineoplastic antibiotic which is known as adriamycin from the anthracycline group. Due to the release of free radicals and lipid peroxidation which can cause acute cardiotoxicity. Coenzyme Q10 is found in many cells of the body, it is an antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Aim: This scoping review aims to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of coenzyme Q10 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in animals. Methods: This review was done based on Arksey and O'Malley's methodology, reviewing published articles from October 1978 and September 2023. Results: 14 out of 11,303 articles were included from the initial search, (10 out of 14 articles found that coenzyme Q10 protect has a protection effect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity). Conclusion: The results of this review found coenzyme Q10 protects against doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. It is a promising supplement that could be used to prevent cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin in cancer patients.
