1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 metastases from head and neck cancers are sometimes found at autopsy, but are rarely found before death; therefore, case reports are uncommon. In this report, we describe a case of cardiac metastasis from head and neck cancer. Although asymptomatic at the time of detection, positron emission tomography-computed tomography was effective in ascertaining the diagnosis. However, patients with cardiac metastases usually have a poor prognosis, and unfortunately, the patient died shortly after detection. At autopsy, the patient had a "hyperdense armored heart" owing to a huge pericardial metastases. Here, we report the imaging and autopsy findings of a hyperdense armored heart owing to cardiac metastases from head and neck cancer.
