Neurological Complications of Cardiac Tumors.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThis article reviews recent literature regarding the neurological manifestations of cardiac tumors, including diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment. RECENT
findingsClinical cases of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to cardiac tumors who were treated with intravenous alteplase show a favorable safety profile. Mechanical thrombectomy seems to be a reasonable treatment alternative for these patients, when there is a large vessel occlusion. Histopathology analysis of mechanical thrombectomy specimens may allow the diagnosis of a cardiac tumor. Prolonged time interval between stroke and tumor excision surgery is significantly associated with stroke recurrence. Myxomatous aneurysms are a late complication of cardiac myxomas, which commonly demand imaging follow-up after excision of the primary tumor. Aneurysms are more frequent in patients who present with other embolic complications. Conservative treatment of myxomatous aneurysms is a reasonable strategy, as the majority of aneurysms remain stable over many years. Spontaneous regression of these formations has been documented after excision of the primary tumor. Other complications recently described include acute psychosis and mononeuropathy multiplex. Cardiac tumors are rare. There are mainly case reports and retrospective case series describing the neurological manifestations of cardiac tumors. Hyperacute stroke treatment seems to be safe, and mechanical thrombectomy is a reasonable treatment. A conservative approach towards myxomatous aneurysms should be considered.
