HER2-Targeted Therapy-From Pathophysiology to Clinical Manifestation: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Trastuzumab is the primary treatment for all stages of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer in patients. Though discovered over 20 years ago, trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) remains a research topic in cardio-oncology. This review explores the pathophysiological basis of TIC and its clinical manifestations. Their understanding is paramount for early detection and cardioprotective treatment. Trastuzumab renders cardiomyocytes susceptible by inhibiting the cardioprotective NRG-1/HER2/HER4 signaling pathway. The drug acts on HER2-receptor-expressing cardiomyocytes, endothelium, and cardiac progenitor cells (see the Graphical Abstract). The activation of immune cells, fibroblasts, inflammation, and neurohormonal systems all contribute to the evolution of TIC. A substantial amount of research demonstrates that trastuzumab induces overt and subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic failure. Data suggest the development of right ventricular damage, LV diastolic dysfunction, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Further research is needed to define a chronological sequence of cardiac impairments to guide the proper timing of cardioprotection implementation.
