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

This is an account of an interesting case with an unusual cardiac presentation. He is a man in his 60s who presented with chest tightness to the accident and emergency unit. The initial thoughts were of acute coronary syndrome or acute aortic syndrome. The initial set of investigations was non-conclusive. His echocardiogram which was done during hospital admission showed asymmetric hypertrophy of the heart muscle. It was prudent to assess that new finding with an MRI scan. The patient presented to the hospital twice during the investigation and was treated for a lower respiratory tract infection. The MRI report showed an interventricular mass lesion extending to the right ventricular free wall with angiosarcoma being high up in the differential diagnosis. Going through the heart team discussion, the decision was to go for a transcatheter biopsy. The biopsy showed B-cell lymphoma. The treatment started and interestingly with satisfactory results.
