1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Heart metastatic tumors are more frequent than primary heart tumors. Cardiac metastasis is a rare phenomenon, occurring mainly by direct spread, especially from lung cancer. Cardiac metastases may be asymptomatic or cause arrhythmias, nonspecific electrocardiographic alterations, or mimic a myocardial infarction. In this case report, we illustrate a rare case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, which through the bloodstream developed a stalactite-shaped metastasis within the right ventricle of conspicuous size (20 mm × 34 mm × 12 mm). In addition, the tumor compressed the right pulmonary trunk, causing pulmonary hypertension. It is essential to characterize metastasis with multimodality imaging. Such lesions within the right cavities can cause massive pulmonary embolism, as in our case, leading to the patient's death, thrombolytic therapy not being effective.
