Successful Treatment of Pericardial Drainage and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in a Case of BRCA-Positive Serous Peritoneal Carcinoma Complicated by Cardiac Tamponade.

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
Cases of serous peritoneal carcinoma complicated by cardiac tamponade due to cancerous pericardial effusion are extremely rare and have poor prognoses. We report a case of a 72-year-old patient who presented with epigastric discomfort and was diagnosed with serous peritoneal carcinoma complicated by cardiac tamponade. The patient underwent emergency pericardial drainage for the cardiac tamponade. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with BRCA1-positive peritoneal carcinoma and was administered carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab. After treatment initiation, cancer antigen 125 levels decreased rapidly, and no recurrence of pericardial effusion was observed. CT after four cycles of chemotherapy showed the disappearance of peritoneal dissemination and ascites. The patient completed six courses of induction chemotherapy and was scheduled to undergo maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors. We report the first case of effective platinum-based chemotherapy in a patient with BRCA-positive peritoneal cancer complicated by cardiac tamponade. Chemotherapy has advanced dramatically in recent years, and even in cases with complications, such as cardiac tamponade, appropriate treatment can lead to a favorable long-term prognosis.
