Review in Current cardiology reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Modern cancer therapies are highly effective in the treatment of various malignancies, but their use is limited by the potential for cardiotoxicity. The most frequent and typical clinical manifestation of cardiotoxicity is left ventricular dysfunction, induced not only by cytotoxic conventional cancer therapy like anthracyclines, but also by new antitumor targeted therapy such as trastuzumab. The current standard for monitoring cardiac function, based on periodic assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction detects cardiotoxicity only when a functional impairment has already occurred, precluding any chance of preventing its development. A novel approach, based on the use of cardiac biomarkers has emerged in the last decade, resulting in a cost-effective diagnostic tool for early, real-time identification, assessment and monitoring of cardiotoxicity. In particular, prophylactic treatment with enalapril in patients with an early increase in troponin after chemotherapy has been shown to be very effective in preventing left ventricular dysfunction and associated cardiac events. In patients developing cancer treatment induced-cardiomyopathy, complete left ventricular ejection fraction recovery and a reduction of cardiac events may be achieved only when left ventricular dysfunction is detected early after the end of cancer treatment and treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, possibly in combination with beta-blockers, is promptly initiated.
