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

Anthracyclines are the cornerstone of treatment for many malignancies. However, anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a considerable concern given that it can compromise the clinical effectiveness of the treatment and patient survival despite early discontinuation of therapy or dose reduction. Patients with cancer receiving anthracycline treatment can have a reduction in their quality of life and likelihood of survival due to cardiotoxicity, irrespective of their oncological prognosis. Increasing knowledge about anthracycline cardiotoxicity has enabled the identification of patients who are candidates for anthracycline regimens and those who might develop anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. Anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a unique and evolving phenomenon that begins with myocardial cell damage, progresses to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and culminates in symptomatic heart failure if it is not promptly detected and treated. Early risk stratification can be guided by imaging or biomarkers. In this Review, we present a comprehensive and clinically useful approach to cardiomyopathy related to anthracycline therapy, encompassing its epidemiology, definition, mechanisms, novel classifications, risk factors and patient risk stratification, diagnostic approaches (including imaging and biomarkers), treatment guidelines algorithms, and the role of new cardioprotective drugs that are used for the treatment of heart failure.
