Metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma to the right ventricle in a young man: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cardiac cancers are exceedingly rare, mainly appearing as secondary cancers in patients with numerous systemic metastases, and are often detected by autopsies. Right ventricle (RV) metastasis from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is rarely reported in the literature. We report a 24-year-old man's case of mCRC, who developed positional variation in pulse rate while receiving the second cycle of chemotherapy. The echocardiography and chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed RV mass. The tumor was right-sided, and Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutated based on that. He was treated with FOLFOX chemotherapy protocol plus bevacizumab and enoxaparin with an initial reduction in mass size. However, follow-up CT 9 months later demonstrated disease progression. For that, the chemotherapy was stopped, and the patient received palliative care. In conclusion, this case provides evidence that mCRC and RV location of metastasis can and do occur. In such a case, therapeutic intervention should be determined by weighing the benefits and risks.
