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 specific mechanisms of doxorubicin (Dox)‑induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) remain unclear. In the present study, H9c2 cardiomyocytes were treated with Dox, and it was revealed that DEAD‑box RNA helicase 3 X‑linked (DDX3X), mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) and stress granules (SGs) were present at lower levels in the treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes compared with those in the control cells. The present study further investigated the mechanisms through which DIC occurs. Pretreatment with arsenite, which pharmacologically accelerates SGs, alleviated the myocardial injury caused by Dox. By contrast, anisomycin, an SG inhibitor, increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by Dox. In addition, both DDX3X knockdown and pretreatment with RK‑33 (a DDX3X pharmacological inhibitor) decreased SG expression, whereas DDX3X overexpression promoted SG generation. These results indicated that DDX3X mitigated DIC through the regulation of SGs. In addition, MAVS knockdown inhibited SG assembly and reduced the expression of the anti‑apoptotic inhibitor Bcl2, and MAVS was influenced by DDX3X, thereby serving as a connector between DDX3X and SGs. The results from western blotting, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that DDX3X, MAVS, and SGs may serve as key protective factors in DIC.
