Long-Term Cardiovascular Toxicity of Immunotherapy: Too Important to Ignore.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Immunotherapy improved survival in a significant number of cancer patients as never before. Its benefits spread across cancer types and stages, and new drugs, new combination, and new indications are on the way. Both atherosclerosis and cancer are associated with the same risk factors, molecular processes, and a persistent inflammatory state that is attributed to immune system dysregulation. Clinicians are now facing a new category of patients that are long survivors/cured by immunotherapy. While short-to-medium-term side effects of immunotherapy are well characterized, long-term exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors could be associated with new and unpredicted toxicity with a potential impact on survival, reducing the clear advantage of immunotherapy. Because of this, it is clear that the worsening of atherosclerosis emerges as the most relevant long-term side effect, translating into an increased incidence of atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and peripheral artery disease. We review the available evidence of this relevant association, providing an overview for all clinicians involved in the multidisciplinary cancer care process.
