Effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan for patients with cancer therapy‑related cardiac dysfunction: A systematic review of descriptive studies.
Article in Oncology letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 present review assessed the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Studies that included patients with CTRCD treated with sacubitril/valsartan were retrieved from the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials databases. Only descriptive studies on sacubitril/valsartan for patients with CTRCD were included in this review; therefore, all variables were qualitatively analyzed. A total of five studies comprising 109 patients were included. The duration from anticancer therapy to heart failure (HF) or from HF to the use of sacubitril/valsartan exhibited interindividual variations. In patients with CTRCD who were treated with sacubitril/valsartan, the left ventricular ejection fraction improved, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels decreased and exercise tolerance improved, as indicated by the change in the New York Heart Association functional class. These clinical, echocardiographic and biochemical improvements were found for different dosages or treatment durations of sacubitril/valsartan. No difference was found between the baseline and follow-up serum creatinine and potassium levels. These findings, which are limited to descriptive studies, support the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan in improving heart function following CTRCD.
