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

Cardiac toxicity is an uncommon but potentially serious complication of high-dose (HD) chemotherapy and little is known about incidence, severity and underlying mechanisms. We have systematically reviewed the literature of the last 30 years to summarize and appraise the published evidence on cardiac toxicity associated with HD chemotherapy. HD cyclophosphamide-containing regimens have been most commonly associated with cardiac toxicity, with a progressively decreasing incidence over time. Dosage, application regimens and coadministration of other chemotherapeutic agents emerged as risk factors. While cardiac toxicity has been rarely associated with other cytotoxic drugs, an unexpected incidence of severe cardiotoxicity resulted from reduced-intensity conditioning regimens containing melphalan and fludarabine. Predictive value of cardiologic examination of patients is limited, and patients with a slight depression of cardiac performance could tolerate HD chemotherapy. Clinical examination, resting electrocardiography and dosage adjustment in overweight patients remain the mainstay of prevention, with bidimensional echocardiography (2D echo) for patients with a history of anthracycline exposure. Strategies to decrease the long-term negative impact of anthracycline administration on cardiac performance are being investigated. New 2D echo-based techniques and circulating markers of cardiac function hold promise for allowing identification of patients at high risk for and early diagnosis of cardiac toxicity.
