Cardiotoxicity in Elderly Breast Cancer Patients.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cardiotoxicity is a leading cause of mortality in the growing populations of elderly breast cancer (BC) patients. Breast cancer treatment in the elderly is highly challenging due to its heterogeneous nature and the lack of specific evidence, as this population is usually underrepresented in randomized clinical trials. Decision making requires a comprehensive approach, considering the type and stage of BC, the patient's overall health status, life expectancy, geriatric and frailty assessment, the risk of cancer recurrence, comorbidities, cardiotoxicity risk, and the patient's preferences. The cardiotoxic effects of BC treatments cover the whole spectrum of cardiovascular diseases: heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, and myocardial ischemia. Cardiotoxicity risk in these patients is defined by several factors: anticancer therapies, polypharmacy, established cardiovascular disease, comorbidities, frailty, cellular senescence, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition. Preventive oncological and cardio-oncological strategies, as well as patients' education, are critical for improved outcomes. Prospective clinical trials in this population are urgently needed.
