Atrial flutter in a patient with glioblastoma multiforme: problems in treating thromboembolic complications.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 55-year-old gentleman with a left-sided glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presented with palpitations which were shown to be atrial flutter (AFL) on ECG. Approximately 6 h later, he developed ataxia and expressive dysphasia. A brain CT scan showed no acute haemorrhage and no progression of the brain tumour. Ischaemic stroke was the top differential diagnosis. However, the authors could not perform thrombolysis due to the risk of intratumour haemorrhage. The AFL reverted to sinus rhythm with metoprolol and digoxin after 3 days. His neurological signs resolved within 24 h, and a diagnosis of transient ischaemic attack secondary to AFL was made. This case highlights the challenge of managing thrombo-embolic complications of arrhythmias in cancer patients.
