Multimodality Imaging in the Diagnostic Work-Up of Patients With Cardiac Masses:
Review in JACC. CardioOncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 64 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Cardiac masses encompass a diverse range of benign and malignant tumors as well as pseudotumors. Accurate histologic identification is essential for guiding appropriate treatment, yet the diagnostic process remains challenging. Although biopsy is traditionally the diagnostic gold standard, its invasive nature and associated risks limit its application. A noninvasive multimodality imaging approach has recently emerged as an alternative, but standardized protocols and supporting evidence are still lacking. Echocardiography is typically the initial imaging modality, with cardiac magnetic resonance recognized as the noninvasive diagnostic gold standard. Cardiac computed tomography provides complementary data to aid in diagnosis and management, while positron emission tomography serves as a third-level imaging option. This state-of-the-art review highlights the role of current multimodality imaging techniques in diagnosing and managing cardiac masses and explores future directions for their applications.
