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 (ICIs) have improved the field of cancer, especially in patients with advanced malignancies. Nevertheless, cardiovascular immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with high mortality and morbidity have been observed, including myocarditis, pericarditis, and vasculitis. To date, only a few clinical risk factors have been described and are currently being investigated. RECENT

findingsIn this review, we address the four most prevailing risk factors for cardiovascular irAEs. ICI combination therapy is a predominant risk factor for developing ICI-mediated myocarditis. Additionally, ICI combined with other anti-cancer treatments (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors, radiation, chemotherapy) seems to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular irAEs. Other risk factors include female sex, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, and specific tumors, on which we will further elaborate in this review. An a priori risk strategy to determine who is at risk to develop these cardiovascular irAEs is needed. Insights into the impact of risk factors are therefore warranted to help clinicians improve care and disease management in these patients.
