Cardiac Angiosarcoma as an Unexpected Cause of Palpitations: Case Report, Differential Diagnosis, and Current Therapeutic Approach to Cardiac Tumors.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a case of an 83-year-old woman who presented with palpitations, asthenia, and exertional dyspnea. The electrocardiogram showed atrial flutter, and echocardiography (UCG) revealed a large mass occupying the right atrial chamber. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) confirmed its origin and extension into the superior vena cava (SVC). A multidisciplinary medical committee considered palliative surgery as the best therapeutic option for the patient due to the impossibility of a complete surgical resection of the tumor. Primary malignant neoplasms of the heart are extremely rare. Their clinical behavior is aggressive, with high morbidity and mortality and frequent surgical limitations due to location and extent at diagnosis. Imaging techniques are essential for diagnosis such as UCG for initial detection, CMR for tissue characterization, and CT or positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for staging and therapeutic planning. Definitive diagnosis requires histologic study, although it is not free of significant complications. This is a case report of a rare cardiac tumor followed by review of literature on its diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
