A case of complete atrioventricular block associated with primary cardiac lymphoma reversed without cardiac pacemaker implantation.

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
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare malignant lymphoma that is characteristically confined to the heart and/or pericardium. Here, the case of a 70-year-old male patient with complete atrioventricular block (AVB) associated with PCL is presented. The patient had a 10-month history of palpitation and electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a complete AVB. Additionally, transthoracic echocardiography indicated pericardial effusion where atypical lymphoid cells were identified by pericardiocentesis. Subsequent mediastinal lymph node biopsy revealed non-germinal centre diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Therefore, a diagnosis of PCL was confirmed. As the patient's vital signs were stable, he was prescribed chemotherapy without pacemaker implantation. After chemotherapy, the patient achieved remission and dynamic ECG demonstrated no recurrence of AVB. The present case demonstrates that although PCL initially manifesting as complete AVB is rare, this possibility should not be ignored when a new AVB without definite aetiology is encountered. In addition, if the vital signs of the patient are stable, pacemaker implantation may be postponed until the treatment effect of chemotherapy has been assessed.
