Review in Current heart failure reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07515859 (Risk Stratification of Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction Using AI-Enhanced Electrocardiography), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

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

purpose of reviewIntroduction of modern cancer therapies has led to increased survival of affected patients. With this advantage, the incidence of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) has increased and reasonable prevention strategies become necessary. This review outlines the major approaches to limit development and progression of CTRCD. RECENT

findingsA broad range of cancer therapies can provoke CTRCD ranging from mild asymptomatic forms to severe heart failure. Profound cardiological assessment of cardiovascular comorbidities before initiation of cancer therapy allows identification of cancer patients at higher risk developing CTRCD which may also require closer surveillance. Cardioprotective adjustment of cancer therapy and initiation of cardioprotective medication and lifestyle optimization prior to anti-cancer treatment additionally limit the risk of CTRCD. During therapy, regular examination of cancer patients using high-sensitive cardiological diagnostic tools as three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography and global longitudinal strain (GLS) enables early detection of mild forms of CTRCD. This allows appropriate adjustment of cancer therapy and initiation of CTRCD treatment to prevent further progression to severe forms. Cardiological risk stratification before treatment initiation, cardioprotective interventions before and during cancer therapy, along with regular monitoring of treated cancer patients, can help prevent the development of CTRCD. This maintains the antitumor effects of cancer therapy while limiting cardiotoxic side effects resulting in improved quality of life and mortality of affected cancer patients.
