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

Anthracyclines are widely used chemotherapeutic agents with proven efficacy against a broad range of malignancies, but their clinical utility is limited by a well-documented, dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. While this toxicity has traditionally been attributed to direct cardiomyocyte injury, emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) in the development and progression of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. This review examines the diverse effects of anthracycline focusing on doxorubicin (DOX) and CFs across the temporal phases of cardiac injury. DOX activates fibroblast-driven extracellular matrix remodeling and promotes fibrosis through enhanced collagen production and the induction of cellular senescence, thereby exacerbating early myocardial inflammation and dysfunction. Clinically, anthracycline cardiotoxicity may present as acute (within days), subacute (within weeks), or chronic progressive forms manifesting either early (within one year) or late (up to decades post-treatment). While early manifestations may be reversible with timely detection and management, late-phase cardiotoxicity is often irreversible, characterized by declining left ventricular ejection fraction and heart failure. A deeper understanding of the molecular and cellular contributions of CFs may uncover novel therapeutic targets to prevent or attenuate anthracycline-related cardiac damage.
