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

The use of doxorubicin (Dox) is restricted because of its cardiotoxicity, which poses a significant mortality risk for cancer patients, despite being a highly effective antibiotic for treating various types of cancer. Therefore, identifying substances or developing preventive strategies against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity is crucial. This study was conducted to determine whether sinapic acid (SA), a phenolic compound with a range of pharmacological effects, could protect against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. To investigate the preventive effect of SA, H9c2 cardiomyoblasts treated with Dox were pretreated with SA at various concentrations. SA effectively rescued the cells from Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Additionally, SA significantly reduced oxidative stress by inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress. SA also suppressed the expression of MAPK proteins. As for the underlying mechanism of SA's protective effect against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity, SA activated nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor (Nrf2) by facilitating its movement from the cytosol to the nucleus and increasing the expression of its target antioxidative genes. In summary, this study demonstrated that SA protects H9c2 cardiomyoblasts from Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress by the activation of Nrf2-related signaling pathway. Our findings enhance the development of therapeutic strategies to mitigate cardiac toxicity caused by Dox, highlighting the potential antioxidant effect of SA in Dox-treated H9c2 cardiomyoblasts.
