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

backgroundAnthracycline-based chemotherapy is highly effective in breast cancer treatment but is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Early identification of subclinical myocardial injury is crucial to prevent progression to irreversible dysfunction.

objectivesTo evaluate whether a multimodal surveillance strategy integrating left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), left atrial reservoir strain (LASr), and high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) can predict early anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 50 female breast cancer patients (mean age 49.3 ± 8.5 years) treated between January 2022 and December 2024. Echocardiography and biomarkers were assessed at baseline and 1 month after chemotherapy. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a > 10% reduction in LVEF to < 53%.

resultsCardiotoxicity occurred in 15 patients (30%). LVGLS, LASr, and hs-TnI significantly changed (all P < 0.001). Independent predictors were LVGLS (aOR 1.33), LASr (aOR 0.77), and hs-TnI (aOR 1.07). hs-TnI showed the highest discriminative ability (AUC 0.940).

conclusionsLVGLS, LASr, and hs-TnI provide complementary information for early detection of cardiotoxicity.
