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

objectivesTo evaluate the protective effect of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos (LJF) extract against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and explore the possible mechanisms.

methodsNetwork pharmacology, bioinformatics analysis and molecular docking were used to predict the targets of the core components of LJF. In a mouse model of DOX-induced myocardial injury, the protective effects of different doses of LJF extract were evaluated and the underlying mechanisms were explored by detecting the changes in mouse myocardial functions, myocardial enzymes, myocardial pathologies, and the expressions of inflammatory factors and pyroptosis-related proteins.

resultsThe 10 core ingredients of LJF showed strong binding to AKT, EGFR, and GSK3β. In the animal experiment, the DOX-treated mice, compared with the sham-treated mice, had significantly decreased cardiac output, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular fraction shorting, elevated serum levels of CK-MB and LDH, increased myocardial expressions of IL-18 and IL-1β, obvious myocardial damage, increased expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD and GSDMD-N, and reduced expressions of EGFR, p-AKT and p-GSK3β proteins in the myocardial tissues. LJF treatment obviously improved myocardial function, decreased myocardial expressions of IL-18, IL-1β, NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD and GSDMD-N proteins, and increased the expressions EGFR, p-AKT and p-GSK3β proteins in DOX-treated mice.

conclusionsLJF extract alleviates DOX-induced myocardial injury in mice possibly by reducing myocardial inflammation and pyroptosis
