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

backgroundCardiotoxicity due to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is not a common phenomenon but can lead to fatal outcomes in cancer patients. The clinical manifestations of this cardiotoxicity are also nonspecific and difficult to identify promptly. Hence, the study aimed to define the risk factors of ICI-related cardiotoxicity to enable early identification of high-risk groups and implement timely intervention for patients receiving ICI therapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsA scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley. We performed a systematic literature search of ten electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang, and VIP, for relevant articles on this topic. The literature and the obtained data were screened and extracted independently by two reviewers. This review is reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

resultsWe identified 29 published studies and 60 risk factors of ICI-related cardiotoxicity in this scoping review. In addition to 25 common risk factors of immune-related adverse events and 5 traditional cardiovascular disease-associated risk factors, we also found 30 specific risk factors of ICI-related cardiotoxicity, including cardiovascular medical history, renal disease, obstructive sleep apnea, abnormalities in laboratory parameters, and cardiovascular medications.

conclusionsBased on this scoping review, we provided a comprehensive list of 3 areas that included 60 risk factors of ICI-related cardiotoxicity and discussed the potential underlying mechanisms. This review could enable clinicians to identify high-risk patients for the timely prevention and treatment of ICI-related cardiotoxicity and further improve their outcomes.
