Primary cardiac lymphoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. 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
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare neoplasm involving the heart, pericardium or both. Patients with PCL have a median survival of approximately 7 months based on literature. We report a unique case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with worsening exertional dyspnoea and symptoms of superior vena cava obstruction. Investigations revealed a large right atrial (RA) tumour with obstructive features. In the past, PCL was frequently diagnosed at postmortem but with modern imaging and biopsy techniques, this allows early diagnosis and treatment of this rapidly fatal disease. Our patient had a trans-jugular venous biopsy of the RA mass under trans-oesophageal echocardiography guidance. This confirmed the diagnosis of PCL. She subsequently completed seven cycles of chemotherapy and is currently in remission 20 months after diagnosis.
