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

Cardiac metastasis is an uncommon condition that may be missed owing to variability in patient presentation. An 81-year-old man with a history of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, presenting with heart failure, showed persistent ST-segment elevation on an electrocardiogram. Chest computed tomography, performed to exclude pulmonary embolism, demonstrated possible cardiac mass that was evaluated subsequently with echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. This case shows the importance of multimodality imaging in diagnosing cardiac metastasis in cancer patients with cardiac symptoms. Although the mechanisms are unclear, persistent ST-segment elevations should be considered as a potential clue to the presence of cardiac metastasis.
