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 an important drug used in the treatment of many malignancies. Unfortunately DOX causes various side effects, with cardiotoxicity being the most characteristic. Risk factors for DOX induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) include cumulative dose of DOX, preexisting cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, along with the use of other cardiotoxic agents. Development of DIC is associated with many pathological phenomena - increased oxidative stress, as well as upregulation of ferroptosis, apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. In DIC expression of many microRNAs is also deregulated. In order to avoid cardiotoxicity and still use DOX effectively DOX derivatives such as epirubicin were synthesized. Nowadays a new liposomal form of DOX (L-DOX) appeared as an alternative to conventional treatment with greatly reduced cardiotoxicity. L-DOX can be divided into two groups of substances - pegylated (PLD) with increased solubility and stability, and non-pegylated (NLPD). Many metaanalyses, clinical along with preclinical studies have shown L-DOX treatment is associated with a smaller decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and other heart functions, but efficacy of this treatment is comparable to the use of convenctional DOX.
