Endobronchial ultrasound guided intracardiac needle aspiration (EBUS-ICNA).
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Most cardiac tumours are secondary to metastasis from extracardiac tumours. Obtaining biopsy from intracardiac lesions, especially from the left heart, is challenging, and the conventionally used methods are invasive and involve significant risks such as arrhythmias, tamponade, valvular damage and tumour embolisation. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to biopsy lymph nodes or mass lesions adjacent to the airways. Its safety and usefulness have been well established. Use of EBUS has expanded to several novel indications over the last few years. Here we report a case of a young woman with suspected metastatic disease to the heart, in whom traditional methods of biopsy had failed to give a diagnosis. EBUS-guided transbronchial intracardiac needle aspiration was safely performed from the left atrial mass lesion to obtain tissue for histopathological diagnosis. A diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma with tumour embolisation to the heart was established.
