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

rationaleEndometrial carcinoma (EC) is a frequently occurring cancer in the female reproductive system. Nevertheless, the occurrence of cardiac metastasis in cases of EC is uncommon and represents a significant risk to women's health. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 58-year-old female patient experienced abnormal vaginal bleeding for over 8 months and was eventually diagnosed with stage IVC (FIGO 2023) endometrial cancer characterized by mismatch repair deficiency that had spread to the heart. DIAGNOSES: Stage IVC (FIGO 2023) mismatch repair deficiency EC with cardiac metastasis.

interventionsAfter a thorough discussion with the multidisciplinary team, a detailed noninvasive treatment strategy was established: the initial phase involved 6 cycles of induction therapy using a combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin along with tislelizumab, resulting in a partial response. This was followed by 3 cycles of maintenance therapy with tislelizumab as a standalone treatment. OUTCOMES: Following the maintenance treatment, the cardiac metastasis was entirely eliminated. The patient experienced a progression-free survival duration of 9 months. LESSONS: For patients with EC who have metastasized to rare sites such as the heart, comprehensive management guided by multidisciplinary team consultation is crucial, as it can significantly prolong survival.
