A case series of ventricular cystic masses.

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
backgroundVentricular cystic masses are uncommon. Elucidating the cause is essential for early directed therapy and prevention of complications. We present two cases of ventricular cystic masses, one in each ventricle, after myocardial infarction (MI) and ventricular septal rupture (VSR), respectively. CASE SUMMARY: Patient 1 is a 58-year-old male with left brachio-facial stroke and evolved anterior MI. A left ventricular (LV) cystic thrombus was seen on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. He was started on anticoagulation with reduction in thrombus size 11 days later. Patient 2 is a 67-year-old male with evolved anterior MI, severe LV systolic dysfunction, and normal right ventricular (RV) function. He was readmitted two weeks later with fever, heart failure, DISCUSSION: Our two cases demonstrate that ventricular thrombi can present as cystic masses after MI and VSRs. Infectious, vascular, or oncogenic causes should be considered in the appropriate clinical context. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent embolic complications, and secondary infection.
