An epicardial problem case report: multimodality imaging assessment of a patient presenting with symptomatic ventricular tachycardia, secondary to a large, epicardial, lipomatous mass with myocardial infiltration.

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
Background: Cardiac lipomas are considered benign and slow-growing adipose tissue tumours; however, the size and location can cause significant haemodynamic compromise and therefore can be malignant in clinical presentation. Case summary: The clinical case describes a rare presentation of a 50-year-old patient, presenting with recurrent haemodynamically compromising ventricular arrhythmia; secondary to an incredibly large, epicardial lipomatous mass, with associated combination of myocardial infiltration, left ventricular systolic impairment, and complex cardiac circulatory involvement. Discussion: The case illustrates the ESC guidelines on the benefits of complimentary multimodality cardiac imaging to assess complex pericardial disease, to improve both clinical understanding and management.
