Obstructive Shock Caused by Intimal Sarcoma With Pulmonary Vein Stenosis and SVC/IVC Obstruction.

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
A 63-year-old woman presented with worsening dyspnea. Imaging revealed a right atrial mass extending to the left atrium, pulmonary veins, and vena cavae. Biopsy showed spindle-shaped cells with pleomorphism and high mitotic activity. Immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for SMA, desmin, and MDM2, supporting a diagnosis of intimal sarcoma. Due to the tumor's inoperability, she was offered palliative care. The tumour rapidly progressed, leading to pulmonary vein stenosis and obstruction of the vena cavae, leading to obstructive shock. This case illustrates the aggressive nature of intimal sarcomas, which present with local infiltration and obstructive symptoms.
