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

Background: Patients with cancer and cancer survivors are at increased risk for incident heart failure, but there are conflicting data on the long-term risk for other cardiovascular events and how such risk may vary by cancer site. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of a new cancer diagnosis on the risk for fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events. Methods: Using administrative health care databases, a population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted among 4,519,243 adults residing in Alberta, Canada, from April 2007 to December 2018. Participants with new cancer diagnoses during the study period were compared with those without cancer with respect to risk for subsequent cardiovascular events (cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and pulmonary embolism) using time-to-event survival models after adjusting for sociodemographic data and comorbidities. Results: A total of 224,016 participants with new cancer diagnoses were identified, as well as 73,360 cardiovascular deaths and 470,481 nonfatal cardiovascular events during a median follow-up period of 11.8 years. After adjustment, participants with cancer had HRs of 1.33 (95% CI: 1.29-1.37) for cardiovascular mortality, 1.01 (95% CI: 0.97-1.05) for myocardial infarction, 1.44 (95% CI: 1.41-1.47) for stroke, 1.62 (95% CI: 1.59-1.65) for heart failure, and 3.43 (95% CI: 3.37-3.50) for pulmonary embolism, compared with participants without cancer. Cardiovascular risk was highest for patients with genitourinary, gastrointestinal, thoracic, nervous system and hematologic malignancies. Conclusions: A new cancer diagnosis is independently associated with a significantly increased risk for cardiovascular death and nonfatal morbidity regardless of cancer site. These findings highlight the need for a collaborative approach to health care for patients with cancer and cancer survivors.
