Primary cardiac angiosarcoma presenting with haemoptysis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
A male patient in his 30s presented to the emergency room with a 1-week history of dyspnoea that progressed to haemoptysis, having coughed up approximately 200 mL of blood on two occasions. On diagnostic investigation, a mediastinal tumour infiltrating the free wall of the right atrium and multiple pulmonary nodules were discovered. The first suspicion was a neoplasm of pulmonary origin, and a bronchoscopy was performed, histology reported a probable cardiac origin for the neoplasm. A subsequent biopsy confirmed the presence of a primary cardiac angiosarcoma. An extension CT scan revealed brain metastases. The patient received chemotherapy treatment, resulting in a partial response to date. This case is one of the few reported instances of cardiac neoplasm presenting with respiratory symptoms.
