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

Animal models are standard for safety evaluation, yet physiological differences limit human translation. Doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, can cause off-target gastrointestinal toxicity and treatment discontinuation. This study evaluated human colonoids as a controlled human-derived epithelial model for doxorubicin-induced gastrointestinal toxicity by comparing transcriptomic responses across human colonoids, mouse colonoids, and male C57BL/6J mouse colon tissue. Within each dataset, doxorubicin-treated conditions were pooled across model-specific exposure levels and time points to estimate broad doxorubicin-associated transcriptional signatures. Using a parallelogram approach, differential expression, co-expression, pathway mapping, and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database benchmarking were applied to compare model concordance and identify doxorubicin-responsive mechanisms. Shared responses converged on cell-cycle regulation, DNA damage response, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Concordance in differentially expressed genes was highest between mouse colonoids and mouse colon, while pathway mapping showed similarities between colonoid systems. A core set of p53-associated genes, including
