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

Cardiac myxomas are the most frequently encountered tumors of the heart. However, they are unusual to be newly diagnosed in the geriatric population. Myxomas are among the great mimickers, with a myriad of clinical presentations related to heart failure, embolic events, and constitutional symptoms. We describe a rare case of a giant atrial myxoma in a nonagenarian presenting with heart failure, which was medically managed.
