Cardiac Tumors Causing Sudden Cardiac Death: A State-of-the-Art Review in Pathology.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cardiac tumors (CTs), although rare, can be a significant cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly when not diagnosed early. The tumors most associated with SCD include myxomas, fibromas, rhabdomyomas, and sarcomas, which can cause fatal arrhythmias, blood flow obstruction, or embolization. Myxomas, which often develop in the left atrium, can cause valvular obstruction or cerebral emboli, while malignant tumors, such as sarcomas, can infiltrate the myocardium or conduction system, causing serious arrhythmias. Rhabdomyomas, which are common in children and associated with tuberous sclerosis, can lead to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Early diagnosis using advanced imaging techniques such as echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging is crucial for preventing SCD. Timely diagnosis and precise characterization of lesions can help reduce the risk of SCD, thus improving the clinical management of patients, with the aim of supporting personalized treatment and improving life prospects. In this state-of-the-art review, we analyze the association between CTs and SCD, with particular attention to the histological features of benign and malignant neoplasms. Through an updated overview of the pathological aspects, we aim to improve the understanding of these tumors and promote a more effective multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach to prevent fatal events.
