The Importance of Ultrasound in a Case of Stroke Caused by Left Atrial Myxoma.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Myxoma is one of the most common cardiac tumors. It is relatively straightforward to diagnose by echocardiography. Sometimes, It can causes cardiac syncope and thromboembolic events. A woman without comorbidities was admitted to our hospital with stroke symptoms: left-sided hemiplegia and dysarthria. After brain computed tomography (CT) and angio-CT value, she was initially treated with pharmacological thrombolysis. Due to persisting symptoms, cerebral angiography and thrombectomy were then performed. At the end of this procedure, the patient had a complete neurological recovery, but she developed new symptoms, such as dyspnea and orthopnea. Transthoracic echocardiogram and transesophageal echocardiogram showed an atrial mobile mass. Therefore, an urgent cardiac surgery was performed in order to remove the mass. Histological examination confirmed cardiac myxoma. Our experience could show the importance of echocardiography to early diagnosis.
