Evaluation of Cardiotoxicity in Lymphoproliferative Patients Treated With Anthracycline and Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Based Regimens.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe treatment of lymphoproliferative disorders has often included a range of cardiotoxic chemotherapy-focused regimens, in particular Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and anthracyclines. Despite these agents being commonly used in clinical practice, the specific process of cardiotoxicity and the prevention of the subsequent cardiac-based pathologies, including atrial fibrillation and hypertension, are increasing points of research. Many hematology-oncology tertiary centers incorporate these agents into regular treatment regimens for patients. A retrospective study from a large patient cohort was pivotal in highlighting the specific cardiovascular risks involved with the applications of these agents. Adding to this, the increased scope of evidence shows an estimated 2-4% of all patients treated with anthracyclines developing left ventricular dysfunction after nine years, with six to eight people per 1000 persons treated with BTKis developing ventricular arrhythmias and/or sudden cardiac death. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study population comprised 389 patients included in the patient study pool from January 2018 to June 2023. The medical histories of all patients were reviewed to determine the incidence of specific cardiac-related pathologies such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac arrest/sudden death, heart failure, and hypertension, both pre- and post-chemotherapy administration. The patients were divided into an anthracycline and a BTKi cohort, of which 2% of the anthracycline cohort presented with either atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or heart failure, while 6% of the BTKi cohort presented with either atrial fibrillation, hypertension, or heart failure.
resultsCardiotoxic effects were noted in a shorter timespan post-anthracycline administration (0-91 days) as compared to post-BTKi administration (245-1539 days).
conclusionsOur study identifies a significant cardiotoxic burden following chemotherapy initiation, which is most pronounced with the application of anthracyclines as compared to BTKis. This evidence may benefit patients with lymphoproliferative disorders through prospective cardiovascular assessment and monitoring before, during, and after treatment.
