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 an effective drug for the treatment of solid tumors and hematological malignancies in both children and adults. The most serious side effect is doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), which can lead to cardiomyopathy and irreversible and highly fatal cardiac decompensation. The precise mechanisms underlying DIC are not fully understood, and currently, no fully effective preventive or therapeutic strategies exist. Drug repositioning has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate DIC, leveraging existing safety profiles while potentially reducing the time and cost of clinical translation. In this review, we summarize current evidence on drug repurposing for DIC, with a particular focus on the antidepressant paroxetine, which shows potential cardioprotective effects beyond its established role as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
