Atrial invasion and showering phenomenon in primary lung cancer: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Advanced lung cancer can have numerous extra-pulmonary complications. Due to the proximity to the heart, cardiac invasion and the subsequent seeding of the tumor into the vascular system present numerous challenges in physician team care coordination. Here we have a 55-year-old male who presented with stroke symptoms in the setting of undiagnosed advanced lung cancer complicated by direct tumor invasion into the left atria and mixed embolic showering phenomenon and thrombotic hypercoagulability. Review of both the embolic showering phenomenon and hypercoagulability will be discussed as both can result in embolic occlusion or metastatic seeding at distant sites. Fewer than ten cases of spontaneous tumor embolization resulting from lung cancer invasion of the pulmonary vein have been reported. Poor prognosis of advanced lung cancer requires delicate, yet pragmatic conversations between care teams and the patient.
