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

Anthracycline drugs are considered to be pivotal drugs in numerous chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer. However, the cardiotoxicity associated with the treatment is an important issue to be addressed. With the emergence of increasingly diverse antitumor drugs, anthracycline-free therapies are able to reduce the cardiotoxicity caused by anthracycline drugs while ensuring that a therapeutic effect is achieved. In the present review, anthracycline-free oncological therapy regimens for the treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer and the associated cardiovascular toxicity are discussed, as well as some monitoring strategies. It is recommended that patients with HER2-positive breast cancer patients should receive adjuvant chemotherapy with single or dual-targeted therapy, with or without endocrine therapy according to the hormone receptor status determined by immunohistochemical examination. The main side effects of targeted therapy include cardiac dysfunction, hypertension and arrhythmia. According to individual risk stratification, it is recommended that patients should be periodically monitored using echocardiography, electrocardiography and serum markers, to enable the timely detection of the cardiovascular adverse reactions associated with tumor treatment, thereby preventing the morbidity and mortality caused by the cardiotoxicity of these drugs.
