Pulmonary artery stenting in cancer patients: A single-center experience.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Endovascular stenting of the pulmonary artery treats arterial stenosis from pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart defects, or post-transplant stricture. Patients with malignant extrinsic pulmonary arterial compression, secondary to large mediastinal or pulmonary masses, often present with dyspnea, hypoxemia, and right ventricular failure. Conventional therapies like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are often slow and fail to promptly resolve acute symptoms. Balloon angioplasty and stenting have been explored as a rapid treatment to alleviate symptoms of external pulmonary artery compression. Despite its potential, the adoption of this procedure is limited due to risks like stent misplacement, migration, cardiac arrhythmias, and arterial rupture. This paper presents 3 cases of pulmonary angiography and stenting performed for malignant extrinsic pulmonary artery compression. These cases aim to demonstrate the feasibility of pulmonary artery stenting, encouraging its consideration as a palliative option for symptomatic patients with this condition.
