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) is a highly effective chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of many cancers, including solid tumors, hematological malignancies, and soft tissue sarcomas. Despite its potent antitumor effects, DOX is known to have toxic effects in non-tumorous tissues, such as skeletal muscle. Potential mediators of DOX-induced skeletal muscle toxicity are reactive oxygen species (ROS). An overproduction of ROS can disrupt the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in a cell, leading to oxidative stress. Chronic oxidative stress has been shown to upregulate proteolysis, ultimately leading to muscle wasting. Exercise stands as a potent nonpharmacological therapy capable of attenuating muscle wasting by enhancing metabolic function and antioxidant defenses while suppressing harmful ROS production. This review focuses on the current understanding of the role of oxidative stress in DOX-induced skeletal muscle toxicity. In addition, we highlight the effects of various exercise types on oxidative stress and muscle remodeling during DOX chemotherapy.
