Solitary cardiac metastasis from primary oral squamous cell carcinoma presenting as ST-elevation MI.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cardiac metastases from oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are rare, especially in the absence of systemic metastasis. We describe a case of a patient presenting with chest pain and ECG abnormalities concerning for ST-elevation myocardial infarction that eventually was found to have an incidental right ventricular mass on chest CT angiogram. Ultimately, she had an intracardiac echocardiography-assisted biopsy diagnosis of isolated cardiac metastasis from primary oral SCC. The extent of the disease precluded any surgical intervention, and the patient subsequently transitioned to hospice care. Most cardiac metastases remain clinically silent until widespread systemic disease leads to death. Thus, cardiac metastasis should be considered in a patient with SCC who develops new cardiovascular symptoms or conduction abnormalities.
