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

Effective anticancer treatments have dramatically improved the outcome of patients with cancer, but cardiac toxicity reduces their clinical efficacy in a non-negligible percentage of patients. Sacubitril/valsartan is a new paradigm in the treatment of chronic heart failure, with a reduced ejection fraction due to the enhancement of natriuretic peptides' properties when coupled with a blocking effect on the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors. As with other clinical conditions of heart failure with potentially reversible declines in cardiac function, a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a valid tool for protection against sudden death until recovery occurs. We report a case series of four patients with chemotherapy-related acute cardiac failure with severely reduced cardiac function. They were successfully treated with sacubitril/valsartan while being protected from malignant arrhythmias using a wearable cardioverter defibrillator until the recovery of cardiac function. Sacubitril/valsartan was confirmed to be effective in anthracycline-related cardiac toxicity and the wearable cardioverter defibrillator should be considered as a support tool even in the oncology patient.
