Primary cardiac lymphoma: The unusual suspect and the importance of a multimodality approach.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Primary cardiac lymphomas are rare tumors with heterogeneous presentation, often difficult to diagnose, requiring a high level of clinical suspicion. An attempted diagnosis is fundamental for effective treatment. We report a very rare case of a primary cardiac lymphoma in a middle-age female patient that presented with atrial flutter, atrioventricular conduction disorder, and a secondary autoimmune hemolytic anemia with cold agglutinin syndrome. The investigation was challenging and a definite diagnosis was achieved by histopathological study and corroborated by regression after chemotherapy. Learning objectives: Primary cardiac tumors are rare, often difficult to diagnose, and a multimodality imaging approach is essential for diagnosis. Although complete atrioventricular (AV) block is often an indication for permanent pacemaker, reversible causes should be considered. AV blocks caused by infiltration of lymphoma can resolve after effective treatment and so it may be reasonable to delay pacemaker implantation until after treatment. A multidisciplinary approach is fundamental in complex cases.
