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), although effective in treating cancer, has significant cardiac side effects, which limit its clinical utility. In this study, we collected time-course transcriptomics and metabolomics data from the human cardiomyocyte cell line AC16, which we analyzed along with curated public transcriptomics data on DOX-induced toxicity. We developed a multiomics analysis workflow and a computational toolbox, pipeGEM, to integrate RNA-seq data with metabolic models, enabling the simulation of DOX-induced metabolic perturbations at a sample-specific level. Our results revealed that DOX affected mitochondrial damage and mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde signaling, potentially contributing to the observed cellular enlargement, senescence and metabolic shift. Cardiac cells that survived DOX treatment presented elevated glycolysis, increased pentose phosphate pathway activity, an altered TCA cycle, and modified glutathione and fatty acid metabolism. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of DOX-induced toxicity and its implications for cardiac hypertrophy, suggesting potential strategies to mitigate side effects while retaining the anticancer efficacy of DOX.
