Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity on regional myocardial work and left ventricular mechanical dispersion in adolescents and young adults in post-lymphoma remission.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMyocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic tool with a high sensitivity to detect early and subtle alterations of myocardial function. We aimed to evaluate the late effects of anthracyclines by assessing the global and segmental MW and intraventricular mechanical dispersion from speckle tracking echocardiography in childhood lymphoma survivors (CLS).
methodsThirty-one young adults including CLS and age-matched healthy controls were enrolled. All underwent echocardiography including an evaluation of left ventricular (LV) morphology and regional function. We assessed LV longitudinal (differentiating sub-endocardial and sub-epicardial layers), circumferential strains and twist, global and regional MW index (MWI). LV mechanical dispersion was assessed from the time dispersion of LV longitudinal strain, from myocardial wasted work (MWW) and myocardial work efficiency (MWE).
resultsThe longitudinal strains both at the level of the sub-endocardium and sub-epicardium were reduced in CLS compared to controls. The global MWI was also decreased (1668 ± 266 vs 1870 ± 264%.mmHg in CLS patients and controls, respectively, p < 0.05), especially on the apical segments. An increase of LV intraventricular mechanical dispersion was observed in CLS. MWW and MWE remained unchanged compared to controls.
conclusionOur results strongly support that cardiac remodeling is observed in CLS, characterized by a decrease in MW and an increase in LV mechanical dispersion. The apex is specifically altered, but its clinical significance remains uncertain. MW as a complement to strain seems interesting in cancer survivors to detect myocardial dysfunction at early stage and adapt their follow-up.
