A Right Ventricular Mass With Intracavitary Obliteration: Tumor or Thrombus?
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 47-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of dyspnea for the past three months. She was previously diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. She had been operated on for a colon tumor five years ago and no residual cancer was detected on oncological follow-up. Her transthoracic echocardiographic and transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation showed a hypertrophic right ventricle occupied by a 2.7 x 4.8 cm immobile mass obliterated to the right ventricle cavity. All the non-invasive tests were consistent with thrombus prediagnosis. She underwent surgery. Mass was resected from the right ventricle as much as possible. Histopathology of surgical material revealed metastatic spindle cell adenocarcinoma. We aim to increase the awareness of the differential diagnosis of thrombus or tumor, thereby leading to appropriate management.
