Cardiovascular toxicity induced by TKIs in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia: Are women and men different?
Article in ESC heart failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsKnowledge of the effects of sex in cardio-oncology is limited, particularly in patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). This study aims to evaluate the influence of gender differences on the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity in patients with CML.
methodsThe study population consisted of 148 patients (45% women, mean age: 58 ± 14.2 years) diagnosed with CML treated with TKIs. The HFA-ICOS score estimated cardiovascular risk. The HFA-ICOS score revealed that 12% of men and 6% of women were categorized as very high risk while 45% of men and 50% of women fell into the high-risk group. Myocardial ischaemia, peripheral artery disease, venous thromboembolism, pulmonary hypertension and new-onset arterial hypertension during treatment with TKIs were recorded.
resultsThe incidence of global events between men and women was comparable (35% vs 32%, P = 0.68). There were 33% who experienced a cardiovascular event during TKI therapy, with a significant sex difference in arterial thrombosis incidence (P = 0.02) and venous thrombosis incidence (P = 0.02). Patients treated with ponatinib had a 41% event rate, followed by nilotinib (32%) and imatinib (32%). The HFA-ICOS score demonstrated greater predictive efficacy for events in the female group [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.797] compared with the male group (AUC = 0.537). Very high [hazard ratio (HR) 3.07; confidence interval (CI) 1.11, 8.47 P = 0.03] and high (HR 3.29; CI 1.17, 9.26 P = 0.02) HFA-ICOS scores were associated with increased event risk, particularly in women. Diabetes was women's strongest predictor of events (HR 5.40; CI 1.37, 21.3 P = 0.01).
conclusionsOur study showed a similar frequency of cardiovascular events between men and women. Accurate cardiovascular risk stratification with HFA-ICOS score in cancer patients is crucial. Diabetes and the HFA-ICOS score were significant predictors of events in the female groups. A sex approach in clinical practice could be pursued to improve the appropriateness of care.
