Capecitabine Plus Bevacizumab for Cardiac Metastasis of Sigmoid Colon Cancer: Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND/
aimRight ventricular cardiac metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare and clinically silent. There is no standardised treatment. To date, only twelve cases have been reported in the literature. This is a case report and literature review of right ventricular cardiac metastasis from CRC. CASE REPORT: A 75-year-old woman with a history of CRC treated with sigmoidectomy followed by liver and lung metastasectomy presented with a right ventricle tumour. Biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma not suitable for resection because multiple lung metastases coexisted. The metastases were controlled for a prolonged duration by chemotherapy with capecitabine plus bevacizumab. According to the review of 13 cases, the median age of metastatic CRC that involves the right ventricle is 71 years and the primary site is half the colon and rectum. Half of cases have non-cardiac metastases at cardiac metastasis diagnosis. Chemotherapy is more suitable than resection in cases with metastases other than heart because resection of the right ventricle has a high risk.
conclusionCardiac right ventricular metastasis from CRC can be controlled by capecitabine plus bevacizumab.
