Differentiating between immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced myocarditis and cardiac metastasis in a cardio-oncology patient presenting with myocardial infarction: A case report.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases and cancer are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with malignancies are at increased risk for cardiovascular complications including acute coronary syndromes, chemotherapy or radiation therapy related complications and cardiac metastasis. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a 47-year-old female with metastatic cancer on immunotherapy presented with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction followed by emergent percutaneous coronary intervention in the left anterior descending artery. Echocardiography after 72 hours showed thickening of inferior wall and cardiac magnetic resonance depicted inflammation and necrosis attributable to either cardiac metastasis or immunotherapy induced myocarditis. Biopsy was not performed because of treatment with antiplatelet drugs and a definite diagnosis was achieved after probationary administration of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone that led to recovery.
conclusionIn patients with malignancy, chemotherapy-induced cardiovascular complications and cardiac metastasis are common concerns and may coexist with common acute cardiovascular diseases including acute coronary syndromes. In such cases clinical suspicion aided by multimodality imaging is crucial for the diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team approach is required for prompt initiation of the appropriate treatment.
