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

backgroundCardiac metastases from choriocarcinoma are exceptionally rare, with only 11 cases reported in the literature to date. CASE SUMMARY: Here we present the case of a 37-year-old woman with progressively worsening exercise intolerance, chest pain, and occasional hemoptysis after childbirth. Initial chest computed tomography revealed a pulmonary mass and a left atrial mass extending from the right inferior pulmonary vein. Blood test results raised suspicion of a gestational choriocarcinoma. The patient is responding to chemotherapy and is currently asymptomatic. DISCUSSION: Most previously reported cases were diagnosed postmortem, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges of this condition and the rarity of our case. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Choriocarcinoma should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis for intracavitary cardiac masses in young women, especially when involving the left atrium.
