Dyslipidaemias in cancer patients.
Review in European heart journal, 2026. 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
Dyslipidaemia in cancer patients presents several challenges with increasing survival of cancer patients. Dyslipidaemia and cancer treatments both increase atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk; yet, most risk prediction scores for ASCVD do not include important cancer factors and thus underestimate true ASCVD. Some cancer therapies cause transient elevations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglycerides, or reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, occasionally to extreme levels requiring specific treatment and monitoring strategies. A range of lipid-lowering therapies can be used in cancer patients to manage cholesterol and triglycerides but of these, reliable data only exist for statins and ezetimibe for managing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fibrates and Omega 3 fish oils for hypertriglyceridaemia. There are no robust randomized controlled trials conducted in cancer patients for reduction of adverse cardiovascular events and therefore current recommendations have been extrapolated from non-cancer trials. Cancer survivors may require combination therapies; yet, trials of newer lipid-lowering therapies excluded cancer patients and hence safety and efficacy data are limited. The initiation of lipid-lowering therapy in cancer patients requires an integration of several factors, which includes a careful assessment of ASCVD risk, drug-drug interactions, side-effect profiles, and prognosis. Further work is required to personalize individualized risk scores for ASCVD in cancer patients and survivors and new trials and 'real-world' or registry data would inform these existing data gaps. Beyond lipid management, the putative role of therapies such for statins as cardioprotective agent for anthracycline chemotherapy open novel avenues for further research as survival from many cancers continues to improve.
