New curative approach using embolization followed by moderate-dose radiotherapy after surgical failure for large right heart metastasis.
Article in Clinical and translational radiation oncology, 2022. 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
purposeCardiac metastasis is a rare fatal event. An intracavitary right tumor mainly in the ventricle is difficult to manage. Literature reports suggest that cardiac surgery in oligometastatic patients could offer median survival of 1 year. We investigated salvage treatment comprising transcoronary tumor embolization followed 15 days later by cardiac radiotherapy (40.5 Gy/15 fractions). CASES: We report two cases of severe right cardiac metastasis with a history of abdominal cancer managed by this salvage treatment following residual cardiac mass after previous cardiac surgery.
conclusionBoth symptomatic patients improved progressively and were locally controlled for at least 1 year without toxicity.
