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

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent to treat solid tumours and hematologic malignancies. Although useful in the treatment of cancers, the benefit of DOX is limited due to its cardiotoxic effect that is observed in a large number of patients. In the literature, there is evidence that the presence of various factors may increase the risk of developing DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. A better understanding of the role of these different factors in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity may facilitate the choice of the therapeutic approach in cancer patients suffering from various cardiovascular risk factors. In this review, we therefore discuss the latest findings in both preclinical and clinical research suggesting a link between DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and various risk factors including sex, age, ethnicity, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and co-medications.
