Sudden unexpected death due to inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the heart: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in International journal of legal medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) or inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare primary cardiac tumor that may result in sudden death. We report a sudden unexpected death due to occlusion of the coronary arteries by IMT arising from the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve. An 8-year-old child suddenly woke up from his sleep with complaint of severe chest pain to his parents, and shortly he became unresponsive. He expired 40 min later in the hospital despite resuscitation efforts. The postmortem examination revealed a 2.5 × 2 × 1-cm mass composed of multiple entangled slender cylindrical fronts, filling the coronary sinus and obstructing the coronary ostia. The patient had complained of recurrent chest pains about 2 weeks prior to his death. Echocardiogram was conducted on the patient but did not recognize the mass. Histological examination of the mass established the diagnosis of primary cardiac IMT. The detailed pathological findings are described. In addition, the literature is reviewed, and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and the importance of forensic autopsy examination are discussed.
