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

CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) represents standard chemotherapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with risk of cardiotoxicity. To define new parameters, such as 3D myocardial deformation, arterial stiffness, and biomarkers for early diagnosis and prediction of cardiotoxicity. 110 NHL patients with LVEF > 50%, scheduled for CHOP, were evaluated at baseline, after third cycle and chemotherapy completion. 3DE assessed LVEF and myocardial deformation: longitudinal (LS), radial, circumferential, area strain. Echo-tracking analysed arterial stiffness: PWV, β index, wave intensity. Troponin I and NT-pro-BNP were measured. After chemotherapy completion, 18 patients (16%) (group I) developed cardiotoxicity (LVEF decrease < 50%, with > 10% from baseline); 92 patients (group II) did not. Significant reduction of 3D LV deformation and increase of arterial stiffness developed starting with third cycle, with greater changes in group I. LS reduction and PWV increase after third cycle were the best independent predictors for LVEF decrease; the association of LS decrease by > 19% and PWV increase by > 27% after third cycle predicted cardiotoxicity after chemotherapy completion (90% sensitivity and 81% specificity). 3D LS and PWV can detect early chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and predict LVEF decline. These parameters should be incorporated in clinical protocols to monitor cardiovascular function during chemotherapy and early intervention.
