ECMO combined with IABP for the treatment of fulminant myocarditis caused by the targeted drug entrectinib for lung adenocarcinoma: a case report.

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
Background: Entrectinib, a recently approved multikinase inhibitor indicated for advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has demonstrated significant survival benefits in metastatic disease. However, it carries risks of severe cardiotoxicity. We report the successful management of entrectinib-induced fulminant myocarditis using integrated venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) circulatory support. Case summary: A 71-year-old male diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma three years ago (ROS1-positive on genetic testing) initiated crizotinib therapy. One week prior to admission, surveillance chest computed tomography(CT) revealed disease progression with increased tumor burden, prompting transition to entrectinib. Seven days post-treatment initiation, he presented to our emergency department with acute-onset palpitations, dyspnea, dizziness, and nausea. Emergent coronary angiography excluded significant stenosis. The patient subsequently developed frequent ventricular premature complexes(VPCs), cardiogenic shock (serum lactate 2.6 mmol/L), and acute heart failure. Absent cardiac history and negative viral serology supported a diagnosis of drug-induced fulminant myocarditis. V-A ECMO with IABP support was emergently instituted. Remarkable recovery ensued: cardiac function normalized by day 3 (ECMO decannulation), followed by extubation and IABP removal on day 5.After 12 days of hospitalization, the patient was discharged. Ejection fraction (EF) recovered from 10% at admission to 61% at discharge. Follow-up demonstrates sustained cardiac function comparable to discharge status. Conclusion: Entrectinib demonstrates potential cardiotoxicity in lung adenocarcinoma therapy, necessitating prospective studies to quantify this risk. During treatment, multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration is essential for rigorous cardiac function surveillance. This case establishes V-A ECMO with IABP as an effective salvage therapy for drug-induced fulminant myocarditis.
