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) has received widespread attention as a broad-spectrum antitumor drug. However, it has been a recognized challenge that long-term DOX injections can lead to severe cardiotoxicity. There are numerous interventions to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, and the most cost-effective is phytochemicals. It has been reported that phytochemicals have complex and diverse biological properties, facilitating the mitigation of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has numerous pathological mechanisms, and the nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated cardiomyocyte pyroptosis is one of them. This review initially presents an overview of the pathological mechanisms that underlie cardiotoxicity induced by DOX. Subsequently, we present a comprehensive elucidation of the structure and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Finally, we provide a detailed summary of phytochemicals that can mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by influencing the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiomyocytes.
