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

objectivesWe evaluated left atrial (LA) remodeling using cardiac MRI (CMR) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer during and after trastuzumab therapy.

methodsIn this prospective 2-center longitudinal study, 41 women with HER2-positive breast cancer received adjuvant trastuzumab for 12 months, in addition to standard chemotherapy. Serial CMRs were performed at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months after initiation of trastuzumab. LA volumes were measured by a blinded reader. Linear mixed model was used to evaluate longitudinal changes.

resultsOf 41 women (mean age 52 ± 11 [SD] years; 56% received anthracycline), one patient experienced trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) for which trastuzumab was interrupted for one cycle. Mean baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 68.0 ± 5.9% and LA ejection fraction (LAEF) was 66.0 ± 6.6%. Compared to baseline, LAEF decreased significantly at 6 months (62.7 ± 5.7%, p = 0.027) and 12 months (62.2 ± 6.1%, p = 0.003), while indexed LA minimum volume (LAmin) significantly increased at 12 months (11.6 ± 4.9 ml/m

conclusionsAmong trastuzumab-treated patients with low incidence of TIC, we observed a small but significant decline in LAEF and increase in LAmin that persisted for the duration of therapy and recovered 6 months after therapy cessation. These findings suggest that trastuzumab has concurrent detrimental effects on atrial and ventricular remodeling. KEY POINTS: • In trastuzumab-treated breast cancer patients evaluated by cardiac MRI, left atrial ejection fraction declined and minimum volume increased during treatment and recovered to baseline after trastuzumab cessation. • Changes in left atrial ejection fraction correlated with changes in left ventricular ejection fraction in the first 6 months of trastuzumab treatment. • Trastuzumab therapy is associated with concurrent detrimental effects on left atrial and ventricular remodeling.
