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

purpose of reviewCancer therapeutics have seen tremendous growth in the last decade and have been effective in the treatment of several cancer types. However, with advanced therapies like kinase inhibitors and immunotherapies, there have been unintended consequences of cardiotoxicities. While traditional chemotherapy and radiation-induced cardiotoxicity have been well studied, further research is needed to understand the adverse effects of newer regimens. RECENT

findingsBoth immune-mediated and non-immune-medicated cytotoxicity have been noted with targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this manuscript, we describe the pericardial syndromes associated with cancer therapies and propose management strategies. Pericardial effusion and pericarditis are common presentations in cancer patients and often difficult to diagnose. Concomitant myocarditis may also present with pericardial toxicity, especially with immunotherapies. In addition to proper history and physical, additional testing such as cardiovascular imaging and tissue histology need to be obtained as appropriate. Holding the offending oncology drug, and institution of anti-inflammatory medications, and immunosuppressants such as steroids are indicated. A high index of suspicion, use of standardized definitions, and comprehensive evaluation are needed for early identification, appropriate treatment, and better outcomes for patients with cancer treatment-associated pericardial disease. Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology and to evaluate how the management of pericardial conditions in these patients differ from traditional management and also evaluate new therapies.
