Right and left atrial metastasis of renal cell carcinoma: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
introduction and importanceCardiac tumors are uncommon with an estimated incidence of 0.002-0.3 % in autopsy series. Most cardiac tumors are metastatic in nature. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastatic to the heart without inferior vena cava (IVC) contiguous involvement is extremely rare with about 31 cases reported in the literature and only one case with bilateral atrial metastases. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, the surgical management of metachronous RCC involving the right and left atrium is described in a 41-year-old male patient three years after initial diagnosis who presented with worsening episodes of cough, dyspnea, chest pain and hemoptysis. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed significant inflow obstruction. The patient underwent bilateral atrial mass excision via median sternotomy. The postoperative period was unremarkable, and the patient was referred to medical oncology to pursue further treatment. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Among the reported cases of cardiac RCC metastases without contiguous IVC involvement, bilateral atrial metastases are exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case with bilateral atrial involvement to undergo surgical resection reported in the literature.
conclusionIsolated biatrial cardiac metastases from RCC can be successfully resected with good outcomes in selected patients.
