Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03751410 (Long-term Effect of Chronic Ibrutinib Therapy on Left Atrial Function), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Ibrutinib is effective for B-cell malignancies but is associated with cardiovascular adverse events, including atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension. Longitudinal data on left atrial (LA) remodeling during treatment are limited. We characterized serial changes in LA size and function during chronic ibrutinib therapy. Methods: In this prospective observational cohort, 40 patients starting ibrutinib underwent clinical assessment, 24-72-hour Holter monitoring, and echocardiography with LA strain at baseline and 3, 6, 12, and long-term (nominal 36-month) follow-up. Primary analyses used observed paired data, random-intercept mixed models, standardized response means (SRMs), and Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment across 24 primary contrasts. Results: Median age was 65 years and 53% were female. Paired mean LAVI changes were +1.52 mL/m² at 3 months ( Conclusion: During chronic ibrutinib therapy, longitudinal imaging showed modest LA enlargement and consistent deterioration in several LA deformation indices. These treatment-associated observations require confirmation in controlled cohorts. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT03751410.
