Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices in Oncology Patients: Challenges and Management.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 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
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in patients with cancer is rising, given the increasing prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular disease in this population, such as arrhythmias and heart failure. Device therapy in oncology patients presents unique clinical, procedural, and ethical challenges, not completely addressed by current guidelines. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the indications, implantation challenges, long-term management, prognostic considerations and emerging technologies related to CIED therapy in oncology patients. Cancer-specific factors, such as thrombocytopenia, immunosuppression, prior surgery, and radiation-induced anatomical changes, complicate device implantation and follow-up. Increased infection risk, venous thromboembolism, and altered pacing thresholds, particularly in conditions like cardiac amyloidosis, require individualized approaches. The integration of leadless pacemakers, subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), wearable defibrillators, and remote monitoring offers promising alternatives for high-risk patients. Prognostic considerations and ethical dilemmas, including ICD implantation in patients with limited life expectancy and device deactivation at end-of-life, necessitate multidisciplinary decision-making. Future research and collaborative efforts are essential to address cancer-specific complexities and bridge existing gaps to optimize care for this growing patient population.
