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

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is one of the rarest primary malignancies of the heart. This report describes a rare presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in a 61-year-old woman from Iran who presented with weakness, dyspnea, and bilateral lower extremity edema, especially on the right side that progressively worsened over 2 years. Initial diagnostic workup, including laboratory tests, color Doppler ultrasound, and echocardiography, revealed a large immobile mass attached to the RA wall. The patient underwent open-heart surgery for mass debulking. The patient underwent chemotherapy. Unfortunately, during the final cycles of chemotherapy, she experienced worsening symptoms and progression of the mass, and she passed away after approximately 8 months due to cardiac arrhythmia. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of PCL, particularly DLBCL. It underscores the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management in improving outcomes for this aggressive and rare malignancy.
