Cardiac toxicities in multiple myeloma: an updated and a deeper look into the effect of different medications and novel therapies.
Review in Blood cancer journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
With the continuous improvement in survival of cancer patients, including those with multiple myeloma, related to the novel treatment agents and therapeutic approaches, the probability for patients to develop cardiovascular disease has significantly increased, especially in elderly patients and those with additional risk factors. Multiple myeloma is indeed a disease of the elderly population and so these patients are, solely by age, at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Risk factors for these events can be patient-, disease- and/or therapy-related, and they have been shown to adversely impact survival. Cardiovascular events affect around 7.5% of patients with multiple myeloma and the risk for different toxicities has considerably varied across trials depending on patients' characteristics and treatment utilized. High grade cardiac toxicity has been reported with immunomodulatory drugs (odds ratio [OR] around 2), proteasome inhibitors (OR 1.67-2.68 depending on the specific agent, and generally higher with carfilzomib), as well as other agents. Cardiac arrhythmias have also been reported with various therapies and drug interaction plays a significant role in that setting. Comprehensive cardiac evaluation before, during and after various anti-myeloma therapy is recommended and the incorporation of surveillance strategies allows early detection and management resulting in improved outcomes of these patients. Multidisciplinary interaction including hematologists and cardio-oncologists is critical for optimal patient care.
