Cardioprotective Agents for the Primary Prevention of Trastuzumab-Associated Cardiotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
There are significant considerations about the prevention of cardiotoxicity caused by trastuzumab therapy in patients with breast cancer, leading to discontinuation. Recently, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effects of early commitment of beta-blockers (BBs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) during trastuzumab chemotherapy in order to prevent the related cardiotoxicity. The present systematic review and meta-analysis of six RCTs included patients who have predominantly non-metastatic, HER2-positive, breast cancer and received trastuzumab as primary or adjuvant therapy. Those patients did not have any obvious cardiac dysfunction or any previous therapy with cardioprotective agent. We evaluated the efficacy of the aforementioned medications for primary prevention of cardiotoxicity, using random effects models. Any preventive treatment did not reduce cardiotoxicity occurrence compared to controls (Odds ratios (OR) = 0.92, 95% CI 0.54-1.56,
