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
introductionMyxoid liposarcoma rarely metastasizes to the heart. Therefore, diagnosing cardiac metastases of myxoid liposarcoma is challenging, and treatment is often ineffective. Here, we report a case of cardiac metastasis from a myxoid liposarcoma detected using whole-body MRI, which was successfully treated with a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, resulting in favorable outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old woman had a history of pelvic myxoid liposarcoma, which was diagnosed and surgically resected at the age of 47. During follow-up, cardiac metastases were identified using whole-body MRI. The patient underwent tumor resection involving the free wall of the left ventricular apex using a cardiopulmonary bypass. The tumor had invaded the ventricular septum, creating a left-to-right shunt due to a fissure in the tumor. This necessitated a double-patch reconstruction following tumor resection. Postoperative radiation therapy was administered as adjuvant treatment. Five years after treatment, there has been no recurrence of the myocardial myxoid-type liposarcoma.
conclusionsComplete resection of cardiac metastatic lesions from myxoid liposarcoma was achieved, resulting in favorable outcomes. Early detection of localized cardiac metastases using MRI may enable aggressive surgical interventions.
