Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors improve the outcome of lung cancer patients with hypertension undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors treatment.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. 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
backgroundAngiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) could improve the outcome of patients with hypertension or heart failure. Yet it remains unclear if such protective effect exists in lung cancer patients with hypertension undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
objectiveThis study sought to evaluate the impact of ARNIs on the outcome of lung cancer patients with hypertension treated with ICIs.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of lung cancer patients with concurrent hypertension undergoing ICIs treatment between September 2019 and May 2024 in Shanghai Chest Hospital. The overall population included patients with or without ARNIs therapy. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality and the secondary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular events, including myocarditis, heart failure (HF), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), pericardial effusion (PE), and new-onset arrhythmias.
resultsThe study enrolled 153 patients, with 39 (25.5%) patients in ARNIs group and 114 (74.5%) patients in control group. Over a median follow-up of 12 months, 42 (27.5%) patients died, ARNIs treatment was significantly associated with improved overall survival for lung cancer patients with hypertension and treated with ICIs (89.7% vs. 66.7%, HR = 0.27; 95% CI 0.10-0.75, log-rank P = 0.007). However, there was no significant difference in cardiovascular outcome between ARNIs and control group (21/114, 18.4% vs. 3/39, 7.7%, P = 0.112). During follow-up, a total of 24 cardiovascular adverse events occurred, of which the most common cardiovascular event was new-onset arrhythmia in both ARNIs group (2/3, 66.7%) and control group (14/21, 66.7%).
conclusionsThe use of ARNIs seemed associated with a lower all-cause mortality rate yet similar rate of cardiac events in lung cancer patients with hypertension and treated with ICIs. The findings of this single-center retrospective study warrant validation in larger prospective studies.
