Heart protective effects of cardioactive drugs associated with antineoplastic treatment against breast cancer.
Review in Contemporary oncology (Poznan, Poland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The prevalence of breast cancer in women is a fundamental problem in public health worldwide. There is consensual evidence that many chemotherapeutic agents might have harmful effects on the cardiovascular system of patients. The cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs might lead to ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure, and consequently cardioactive drugs, such as antihypertensive, might mitigate those cardiac dysfunctions. Thus, this study carried out an integrative literature review on the potential benefits of cardioactive drugs in cardiovascular repercussions resulting from chemotherapy (CT), especially in women with breast cancer. The research involved articles available on the PubMed, LILACS, and MedLine databases, using as descriptors "breast cancer", "chemotherapy", "cardiotoxicity", and "antihypertensive"; 11 articles were selected. The data corroborate an association between the use of antineoplastic drugs (anthracyclines, fluorouracil, and anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab) and cardiotoxic effects, and anthracyclines are the most studied CT drugs in relation to cardiac dysfunction. The cardioprotective effect of cardioactive drugs, including non-selective and selective beta-blockers classes, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers, could be observed in clinical outcomes. Nonetheless, the drugs have different cardioprotective effects on breast cancer patients and left ventricular ejection fraction; the serum concentrations of troponins and brain natriuretic peptide were the most frequent parameters analysed in selected articles. In summary, cardiovascular parameters should be followed-up in patients undergoing oncology treatment in all stages, regardless of the therapeutic scheme carried out, given the risk of developing and worsening such heart conditions.
