Early detection of cancer therapy cardiotoxicity by radionuclide angiography: An update.
Review in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity is an emerging clinical and healthcare issue. Myocardial dysfunction and heart failure are mostly responsible for increased cardiovascular mortality in cancer disease survivors. Several imaging surveillance techniques have been proposed for early diagnosis of cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction. Our aim was to provide an update of radionuclide angiography applications in this field. Radionuclide angiography is widely used to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) throughout cancer treatment, especially in patients with limited acoustic window. Additional prognostic data may be provided by phase analysis and diastolic function evaluation. Low LVEF and high approximate entropy at baseline seem to be predictors for cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction. A decrease in peak filling rate and/or an increase in time to peak filling rate may be observed in patients undergoing anthracycline and/or trastuzumab administration. Diastolic function impairment may precede or not LVEF decrease. In conclusion, recent studies have provided novel insights into the possible role of radionuclide angiography in the early detection of cancer therapy cardiotoxicity. While interpreting the results of a radionuclide angiography examination, an integrated approach combining the evaluation of LVEF, LV diastolic function, and phase analysis may be useful to improve risk stratification of cancer patients treated with cardiotoxic agents.
