Case Report: Bone cement leakage in the right heart: a rare case of misinterpreted echocardiographic findings.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bone cement leakage is a relatively common complication following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP); however, cement migration to the heart via the venous system is rare, causing severe chest pain and dyspnea. This case reports an 80-year-old male who presented to the Department of Infectious Diseases with mild fever, 2 months after undergoing PVP for a compression fracture of the third lumbar vertebra. A chest computed tomography initially misidentified the lesion as a pacemaker lead within the right ventricle. However, echocardiography revealed that the distal bone cement was embedded in the myocardium of the right ventricular apex, leading to the diagnosis of bone cement leakage. Thereafter, the patient underwent an open-chest procedure with direct cardiac visualization for cement removal in the cardiac surgery department.
