Primary left ventricular neuroendocrine tumor in a middle-aged female: a case report.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the heart are exceptionally rare. Here, we report a case found at our hospital of a 51-year-old woman with a primary left ventricular NET. The patient presented with non-causal recurrent diarrhea for 2 years, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Endoscopy revealed chronic proctitis and duodenal ulcer but found no explanation for the clinical symptoms. Comprehensive cardiovascular tests were conducted, and a mass measuring 26 mm × 41 mm × 30 mm was detected in the left ventricle. The patient underwent complete surgical resection to remove the tumor. Postoperative pathological results indicated a NET. No recurrence or other signs of metastasis were experienced during a 13-month follow-up observation period. Herein, we report this case and describe the imaging manifestations and clinical diagnosis strategy of this rare tumor. A diagnosis of NET of the heart may be considered when there are unexplained abdominal symptoms and without an abdominal or pelvic mass.
