Calcified amorphous tumor with caseous calcification of mitral annulus in hemodialysis patients.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common finding, especially among the elderly. Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of MAC. Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is an extremely rare non-neoplastic cardiac tumor accompanied by calcification and is often associated with MAC. We encountered two patients with end-stage renal failure in whom a cardiac CAT developed on the mitral annulus. In both patients, preoperative examination showed MAC of the posterior mitral annulus and a mobile mass attached to the MAC. CAT and CCMA were considered, and surgical resection was performed because of a high risk of systemic embolization. Intraoperatively, the mobile mass was associated with the CCMA. The CCMA with the mass was entirely removed, and the diagnosis of CAT was histologically confirmed. We herein report these two cases of CAT arising from CCMA in patients undergoing hemodialysis and propose the characteristic imaging features and operative findings.
