Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity in Adult Cancer Patients:
Review in JACC. CardioOncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06881940 (Rationale and Design of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program on the Prevention of Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment With Anthracyclines and/or Trastuzumab), which is not on this map. Cited by 156 papers, 9 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Since their introduction in the 1960s, anthracyclines have been a significant breakthrough in oncology, introducing dramatic changes in the treatment of solid and hematologic malignancies. Although new-generation targeted drugs and cellular therapies are revolutionizing contemporary oncology, anthracyclines remain the cornerstone of treatment for lymphomas, acute leukemias, and soft tissue sarcomas. However, their clinical application is limited by a dose-dependent cardiotoxicity that can reduce cardiac performance and eventually lead to overt heart failure. The field of cardio-oncology has emerged to safeguard the cardiovascular health of cancer patients receiving these therapies. It focuses on controlling risk factors, implementing preventive strategies, ensuring appropriate surveillance, and managing complications. This state-of-the-art review summarizes the current indications for anthracyclines in modern oncology, explores recent evidence on pathophysiology and epidemiology, and discusses advances in cardioprotection measures in the anthracycline-treated patient. Additionally, it highlights key clinical challenges and research gaps in this area.
