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

This study investigated the effects of anthracyclines on mitochondrial ferritin (MtFt) expression in primary murine cardiomyocytes and in cancer patients. MtFt expression was first evaluated in murine cardiomyocytes before and after doxorubicin exposure. Subsequently, MtFt levels were assessed in peripheral blood cells of 26 cancer patients at baseline, at the end of treatment, and 12 months after the first cycle, together with high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Doxorubicin-treated murine cardiomyocytes exhibited increased MtFt expression compared with untreated cells. No patient developed clinically relevant cardiotoxicity. A weak but significant inverse association was observed between MtFt levels and LVEF at the end of treatment. Multivariable linear regression showed no significant predictive effect of hsTnT, NT-proBNP, or time on MtFt changes, although MtFt levels tended to decrease and hsTnT levels to increase over time.
