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

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapy drug known to induce metabolic changes in the heart, leading to potential heart toxicity. These changes impact various cellular functions and pathways such as disrupting the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. The study aimed to investigate the effect of DOX on the mTOR pathway through an in vivo systematic review. Databases were searched on September 11, 2023. We finally included 30 in vivo studies that examined the mTOR expression in cardiac tissue samples. The present study has shown that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR, the AMPK/mTOR, the p53/mTOR signaling, the mTOR/TFEB pathway, the p38 MAPK/mTOR, the sestrins/mTOR, and the KLF15/eNOS/mTORC1 signaling pathways play a crucial role in the development of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Inhibition or dysregulation of these pathways can lead to increased oxidative stress, apoptosis, and other adverse effects on the heart. Strategies that target and modulate the mTOR pathways, such as the use of mTOR inhibitors like rapamycin, have the potential to enhance the anticancer effects of DOX while also mitigating its cardiotoxic side effects.
