A Giant Left Intraventricular Thrombus Associated With Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mimics Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common disease that can be acquired due to chronic hypertension or via autosomal dominant inheritance. Several patterns of HCM have been described, of which a rare variant is apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). Atrial thrombus is a well-recognized complication of HCM especially in the setting of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation is not nearly as prevalent as atrial thrombus. Here is a case of a 57-year-old Hispanic female with AHCM who presented with significant unintentional weight loss and unexplained anemia and was subsequently found to have a large left intraventricular mass suspicious for a tumor vs. ventricular thrombus. The diagnosis was complicated due to the large size of the mass and presenting symptoms suspicious of malignancy.
