Review in JACC. CardioOncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Although recent advancements in cancer therapies have extended the lifespan of patients with cancer, they have also introduced new challenges, including chronic health issues such as cardiovascular disease arising from pre-existing risk factors or cancer therapies. Consequently, cardiovascular disease has become a leading cause of non-cancer-related death among cancer patients, driving the rapid evolution of the cardio-oncology field. Environmental factors, particularly air pollution, significantly contribute to deaths associated with cardiovascular disease and specific cancers, such as lung cancer. Despite these statistics, the health impact of air pollution in the context of cardio-oncology has been largely overlooked in patient care and research. Notably, the impact of air pollution varies widely across geographic areas and among individuals, leading to diverse exposure consequences. This review aims to consolidate epidemiologic and preclinical evidence linking air pollution to cardio-oncology while also exploring associated health disparities and environmental justice issues.
