The Assessment of Cardiac Masses by Cardiac CT and CMR Including Pre-op 3D Reconstruction and Planning.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 reviewThe purpose of this review is to (1) review the recent evidence examining the use of CT and CMR in the assessment of a suspected cardiac mass, (2) summarize the typical imaging features of the most common cardiac masses, and (3) examine the latest developments in the use of three-dimensional reconstructions and models in the preoperative assessment of a cardiac mass. RECENT
findingsCMR can distinguish between tumors and non-tumor masses and between benign and malignant mass with a high degree of accuracy. CT and CMR are complementary tools in the evaluation of cardiac masses. CMR is the preferred initial imaging modality due to its versatile imaging planes and superior tissue characterization. CT better depicts calcification and has a higher spatial resolution compared with CMR, which is of particular importance in preoperative planning. CT also offers a valuable alternative in those with contraindications to CMR. Three-dimensional reconstructions, particularly of CT datasets, are a valuable adjunct in the preoperative assessment of a cardiac mass and may allow a better appreciation of the margins of the mass and its relationship with surrounding structures. Three-dimensional printing is an emerging technology which may be of additional value in selected patients with a cardiac mass.
