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

Cardiotoxicity of anticancer treatments has become an increasingly important clinical problem faced by cardiologists. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure generate the most concern, but clinical features and prognosis vary considerably depending on the causative agent. Anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy differs fundamentally from effects associated with newer targeted agents, such as trastuzumab. Other forms of cardiovascular disease that occur as a result of cancer treatment include hypertension, thromboembolic disease, pericardial disease, arrhythmia, and myocardial ischemia. The approach to cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer is often different from that in the general population, not only because of distinct underlying mechanisms and clinical features of their heart disease, but also because of the potential ongoing need for additional cancer treatment as well as the altered duration of anticipated survival. In an effort to maximize both quality of life and survival, cardiologists and oncologists should collaborate with the aim of balancing the risks of cardiotoxicity with the benefits of oncologic therapy.
