Primary cardiac myxofibrosarcoma with osteoid differentiation mimicking a left atrial myxoma: A rare entity.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Cardiac myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is an uncommon entity. It is among the most challenging conditions to diagnose due to its rarity, high variability, and non-specific findings. These tumors often simulate left atrial myxoma or mitral stenosis at clinical presentation. Although, the definitive diagnosis of cardiac tumors depends on histopathological examination, various imaging techniques are also useful to study tumor characteristics to plan an appropriate treatment strategy. Here we highlight a case of primary cardiac MFS of left atrium (LA) showing areas of transition to undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) with bone or osteoid formation, which is extremely rare and not well described. <
