Surgical resection and epicardial lead implantation for primary cardiac lymphoma with a complete atrioventricular block: a case report.

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
Background: Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare cardiac tumour with various presentations, which might cause a complete atrioventricular (AV) block, which can, in turn, cause heart failure symptoms. Case summary: We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with a chief complaint of exertional dyspnoea. Her vital signs showed bradycardia, and electrocardiography revealed a complete AV block. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large intra-cardiac mass in the right atrium. Full-body positron emission tomography showed an elevated fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the right atrial mass, interatrial septum, and wall of the left atrium. Since the tumour could obstruct the tricuspid valve, urgent tumour debulking surgery and epicardial lead implantation were performed. Histopathological examination results were consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. After several courses of chemotherapy, we kept her in complete remission of the tumour for 2 years. Discussion: Primary cardiac lymphoma was complicated by a complete AV block and diagnosed by using the samples that we obtained in the surgery. A surgical resection of the tumour and epicardial lead implantation, combined with chemotherapy, can be an option, especially in patients who require cardiac surgery.
