Long-term Survival After Treating Cardiac Metastasis With Radiation and Immune Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 are a rare clinical entity and they generally portend a poor prognosis. Management is generally directed toward symptom control and maintaining cardiac function; however, long-term survival is rare. Here, we report a case of isolated metastatic urothelial cell carcinoma to the right ventricle that was functionally limiting the patient. The metastasis was successfully palliated for 17 months following radiation and immune therapy; however, disease progression in and around his heart ultimately led to a cardiac arrest.
