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

backgroundDoxorubicin (DOX), as a broad-spectrum antitumor drug, achieved great success in the clinic. Nevertheless, severe adverse effects, in particular cardiac toxicity, significantly restrict its clinical utilization. Urolithin A (UA), a metabolite produced by the metabolic activity of intestinal microorganisms on pomegranates, exerts novel protective potential against cardiovascular disease. However, the inhibitory effect of UA against DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity has not been fully explored. Herein, the protective effect and mechanism of UA against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity

methodsThe effects of UA and DOX on cell activity and cell apoptosis were assessed by cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) staining. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined by fluorescent probes. Protein expression was detected by western blotting. A cardiotoxicity rat model was established via injection of DOX to evaluate the

resultsDOX induced obvious ROS-mediated oxidative damage and ultimately led to H9c2 cell apoptosis

conclusionOur findings validated the rational design that UA has the potential to mitigate DOX-induced myocardial injury
