Practical guidance for echocardiography for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction: 2026 focused update.
Guideline in Journal of echocardiography, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) has become an important clinical issue with advances in cancer treatment and improved patient survival. The Japanese Society of Echocardiography previously published practice guidance in 2020. The present document provides an updated revision reflecting recent developments in cardio-oncology.
methodsThis guidance was developed based on contemporary evidence, including the 2022 European Society of Cardiology cardio-oncology guidelines, recent clinical studies, and advances in echocardiographic and multimodality imaging technologies.
resultsLeft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) are emphasized as essential parameters for diagnosing and monitoring CTRCD. The document provides standardized protocols for echocardiographic evaluation before, during, and after cancer drug therapy, as well as recommendations for long-term surveillance following radiotherapy. It also addresses cardiovascular complications associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly myocarditis, and highlights the importance of measurement accuracy, quality control, artificial intelligence, and three-dimensional echocardiography in clinical practice.
conclusionsThis updated guidance offers practical and evidence-based recommendations for echocardiographic assessment in cardio-oncology, aiming to facilitate early detection of cardiotoxicity and optimize multidisciplinary management.
