Rare cardiac metastasis of lung cancer mimicking aneurysm and tamponade.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2024. 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
Metastasis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a rare cause of cardiac metastatic tumors (CMT). We present a case of NSCLC infiltrating the apical left ventricle mimicking cardiac aneurysm and tamponade. The patient, who had a history of NSCLC, presented with acute shortness of breath and an echocardiogram concerning for ruptured left ventricular aneurysm. A neoplastic mass found at the cardiac apex suggested CMT leading to ventricular wall rupture and cardiac tamponade. Transthoracic echocardiography is the most ubiquitous imaging modality for CMT diagnosis, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging offering a more detailed assessment. CMT from NSCLC can cause dangerous cardiac tamponade, warranting consideration in patients with suspected metastases.
