Clinical features of cardiac lymphoma: an analysis of 37 cases.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectiveTo summarize the clinical and pathological features of patients with cardiac lymphoma.
methodsThe general conditions, clinical features, pathological types, and prognostic indices of 37 patients with cardiac lymphoma treated in our hospital were analyzed.
resultsAmong the 37 patients, only one had primary cardiac lymphoma, and the other 36 patients had secondary cardiac lymphoma. The cardiac manifestations were mainly chest tightness, shortness of breath, increased heart rates, and electrocardiographic abnormality caused by pericardial effusion, but myocardial enzyme levels were normal in all patients. Only three patients displayed solid heart-occupying manifestations. These lesions were mainly located in the right atrium, and the masses were all larger than 5 cm. The pathological type was diffuse large B cell lymphoma that did not arise from the germinal center in all three patients.
conclusionsCardiac lymphoma was mostly secondary, and pericardial effusion was the primary objective sign. Moreover, cardiac lymphoma was characterized by a high international prognostic index, late stage, and high rates of T and NK cell lymphoma. Most cases were accompanied by serous cavity effusion, extranodal involvement of important organs, elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, hypoalbuminemia, and normal myocardial enzyme levels.
