Cardiac metastasis after esophagogastrectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma with an antemortem diagnosis.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 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
Cardiac metastasis is uncommon and rarely diagnosed antemortem. Here, we describe a case of symptomatic cardiac metastasis from esophageal adenocarcinoma. A 64-year-old man developed chest symptoms 26 months after curative esophagogastrectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Initially, ischemic cardiac disease was suspected based on electrocardiography findings, but an infiltrative tumor was seen morphologically in the wall of the interventricular septum and apex. No other lesions were detected. Histological examination of a transcatheter biopsy specimen indicated that the cardiac tumor was metastasis from esophageal adenocarcinoma. Chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin relieved his symptoms, and he had resumed normal activities. However, he opted not to undergo further aggressive treatment due to severe adverse effects from cisplatin. Seventeen months after completion of chemoradiotherapy, metastases to the right ventricle and the left thighbone were detected and he died 27 and 24 months after the diagnosis of cardiac metastasis and completion of chemoradiotherapy, respectively.
