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

Echocardiography plays a central role in the cardiovascular assessment and surveillance of patients with active cancer or in remission. With the development of specialised cardio-oncology services, the demand for echocardiography in cancer patients continues to grow. Here we explain the nuances of echocardiography in cardio-oncology, and detail how our institution has optimised service delivery to minimise cancer patient healthcare visits, improve time to cardio-toxicity diagnosis and utilising physiologists to lead cancer survivorship clinics.
