1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neoplasms of neuroendocrine origin commonly affecting the gastrointestinal or respiratory system. They metastasize to lymph nodes and the liver based on their lymphatic and venous drainage of their tissue of origin. Metastasis to the heart is exceedingly rare accounting for <2 % of cases. Exceedingly rare is the incidental detection of cardiac carcinoid metastasis as the initial presentation of carcinoid syndrome. Here, we describe a case of metastatic cardiac carcinoid detected during a routine echocardiogram done for evaluation of a systolic murmur.
