Effect of acute high-intensity interval exercise on a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: a pilot study.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIt is unknown whether high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) may potentiate or attenuate the cardiotoxic effect of chemotherapy agents such as doxorubicin (DOX) when performed shortly after treatment. The study aimed to investigate the effect of acute HIIE on cardiac function and structure performed either 1, 2 or 3 days after DOX injection in an animal model.
methodsFemale C57bl/6 mice (n = 28), 70 days old, received a bolus 20 mg/kg intravenous tail vein DOX injection. Three exercise groups performed 1 HIIE session (16 sets of 1 min at 85-90% of peak running speed) at 1 (n = 7), 2 (n = 7), and 3 days (n = 8) following the DOX injection. A sedentary (SED) group of mice (n = 6) did not exercise. Animals underwent echocardiography under light anesthesia (isoflurane 0.5-1%) before and 7 days after the DOX injection. Animals were sacrificed on day 9 and hearts were collected for morphometric and histological analysis.
resultsAnimals exercising on day 3 had the smallest pre-post reduction in left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) (MΔ= -1.7 ± 3.3; p = 0.406) and the SED group had the largest reduction (MΔ=-6.8 ± 7.5; p = 0.009). After reclassification of animals according to their exercise compliance (performing > 8/16 of high-intensity bouts), LVFS in compliant mice was unchanged over time (LVFS MΔ= -1.3 ± 5.6; p = 0.396) while non-compliant animals had a LVFS reduction similar to sedentary animals. There were no significant differences in myocardial histology between groups.
conclusionsIn this pilot murine study, one single HIIE session did not exacerbate acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. The timing of the HIIE session following DOX injection and the level of compliance to exercise could influence the negative impact of DOX on cardiac function.
