Right Ventricular Failure From Malignant Pulmonary Artery Compression.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
case summaryA 31-year-old woman presented with progressive dyspnea, orthopnea, cough, fatigue, and marked weight loss. Multimodality imaging demonstrated metastatic pancreatic malignancy with malignant pericardial effusion, a contrast-enhancing left ventricular apical mass, and right ventricular pressure overload. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed extrinsic compression of the right pulmonary artery by mediastinal lymphadenopathy, causing functional supravalvular stenosis. She developed tamponade physiology, obstructive shock, and renal dysfunction; palliative discharge was agreed on after discussion. DISCUSSION: Malignant pulmonary artery compression is a rare mimic of pulmonary embolism and may present with unexplained right ventricular failure in patients with advanced cancer. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In patients with cancer with unexplained right ventricular failure, malignant pulmonary artery compression should be considered. Multimodality imaging distinguishes this entity from pulmonary embolism or pulmonary hypertension.
