Statins for Cardiac and Vascular Protection During and After Cancer Therapy.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of reviewAlthough cancer treatments have increased overall survival rates, the cardiovascular consequences of cancer therapy place patients at an increased risk of adverse outcomes. This manuscript presents data accumulated to date regarding cardiovascular outcomes relating to the administration of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylcoenzyme-A reductase inhibitor (or statin) therapy in individuals receiving potentially cardiotoxic cancer treatments. RECENT
findingsRetrospective observational studies in humans and randomized controlled trials in animals suggest that statins may reduce cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Further, statins may attenuate cancer therapy-induced declines in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and increases in blood pressure. Observational studies suggest a potential attenuation in LVEF decline in patients with cancer and primary or secondary indications to receive a statin for prevention of cardiovascular events. Large randomized clinical trials are warranted to understand the efficacy and potential impacts of statin class, dosage, and duration on cardiovascular outcomes in patients treated for cancer.
