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

purpose of reviewImmune checkpoint inhibitors have reshaped the treatment of cancer, but they are characterized by peculiar toxicity consisting of immune-related adverse events that may potentially affect any organ or system. In this review, we summarize data on clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and management of the main immune-related cardiovascular toxicities of immune checkpoint inhibitors. RECENT

findingsThe most relevant immune-related cardiovascular toxicity is myocarditis, but other non-negligible reported events include non-inflammatory heart failure, conduction abnormalities, pericardial disease, and vasculitis. More recently, growing evidence suggests a role for immune checkpoint inhibitors in accelerating atherosclerosis and promoting plaque inflammation, thus leading to myocardial infarction. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with several forms of cardiovascular toxicity; thus, an accurate cardiovascular baseline evaluation and periodical monitoring are required. Furthermore, the optimization of cardiovascular risk factors before, during, and after treatment may contribute to mitigating both short-term and long-term cardiovascular toxicity of these drugs.
