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

Blood cysts in the heart are often incidentally found during post-mortem examinations in infants, and usually do not cause clinical symptoms. They almost always regress spontaneously, and only a few cases of embolization or valvular dysfunction have been reported previously. We report a 62-year-old man who presented with chest discomfort and dyspnea on exertion for several years, and was found to have a dynamic murmur in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) on physical examination. His echocardiogram demonstrated two large blood cysts attached to the subvalvular apparatus of mitral valve, causing significant LVOT obstruction and mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. The cysts were surgically excised and pathology confirmed simple blood cysts. <
