Case Series: Sacubitril/Valsartan Role for Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity: An in-Depth Investigation in Saudi Arabia.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Background: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a significant problem, ranking as the second most frequent cause of mortality in cancer patients. This adverse outcome encompasses many cardiovascular problems, such as heart failure. Sacubitril/valsartan has shown potential in the management of heart failure, however, its effectiveness in treating chemotherapy-induced heart failure has not been extensively explored. We performed a case series to investigate the safety and effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan in treating chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy in Saudi Arabia. Methods: The case series was conducted at a single medical center in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The data gathered included patient demographics, clinical features, laboratory results, echocardiographic findings, and medication information. The data underwent analysis using descriptive statistics. Results: Out of the total of eight patients who were part of the investigation, a notable majority of six individuals exhibited substantial enhancements in their ejection fraction (EF) after receiving sacubitril/valsartan medication. Conclusion: Our case series provides significant insights by revealing improvements in ejection fraction (EF) in six out of eight patients who had chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy after receiving sacubitril/valsartan treatment.
