Long-term cardiovascular risk in survivors of hematologic malignancies: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC cancer, 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
backgroundThe survival rate for hematologic malignancies is steadily improving. With the encouraging trend and the aging of these survivors, there is an ever-increasing responsibility for identifying adverse cardiovascular outcomes associated with carcinogenesis and/or anti-cancer therapies across the span of their lives. However, prospective studies have yielded inconsistent results.
methodsWe performed a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the association between leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in relation to later risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Relevant literatures were identified from PubMed and Web of Science databases through May 2024 and reviewing reference lists of retrieved articles.
resultsFrom the 2412 studies screened, we included 50 studies with 550,385 participants, spanning 1940-2020 for leukemia and 1940-2016 for both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The pooled fully adjusted RRs of total CVD, ischemic heart disease (IHD), heart failure (HF), and stroke associated with leukemia were 2.68 (95% confidence interval: 2.22-3.25), 1.46 (1.25-1.70), 4.13 (2.41-7.06), and 3.05 (2.16-4.32), respectively. For HL or NHL survivors, similar positive associations were observed in our study. In addition, compared with survivors with chemotherapy (2.12; 1.89-2.38), radiotherapy-treated survivors had a greater risk of CVD (4.06; 2.84-5.81).
conclusionsIn summary, survivors of hematologic malignancies, especially those who receive radiotherapy, are at highest risk of developing CVD, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies.
