Echocardiography and biomarkers for the diagnosis of cardiotoxicity.
Review in Herz, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
As a result of better treatment options for malignant cancer, the cardiovascular side effects of such therapies have increasingly come into focus in recent years. The new cardiological subspecialty of oncocardiology is developing strategies to prevent and/or detect those effects early in order to treat them in a timely and adequate manner. The diagnosis of cardiotoxic effects is based mainly on imaging and specific biomarkers. Echocardiography has become the main imaging technique due to its wide availability. In addition to quantitative determination of left ventricular function using two-dimensional methods, three-dimensional methods offer better precision and less variability in the detection of cardiac dysfunction. Furthermore, the analysis of the global longitudinal strain (GLS) reveals even subtle changes in left ventricular function and thus detects very early damage before left ventricular ejection fraction drops. Various biomarkers have been tested recently for their potential to detect cardiotoxicity. Cardiac troponins are currently the best investigated biomarkers and certainly have the highest impact. Due to contradicting results, the importance of natriuretic peptides has not yet been conclusively clarified. Results for myeloperoxidase are promising, as are the results for circulating microRNAs, which still mainly derive from experimental data. In this context, further studies still need to show the value of these in everyday clinical practice.
