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

The clinical features of cardiac myxoma vary significantly from asymptomatic to severe cardiovascular complications like atrioventricular valve obstruction and thromboembolism depending on the location, size, and mobility of the tumor. Echocardiography is the diagnostic study of choice, and surgical resection is the method of choice to prevent complications. We report a case of a 47-year-old female who presented with exertional dyspnea, malaise, and weight loss. Physical examination was significant for jugular venous distension, basal crackles in lungs, 2+ pedal edema, and rumbling diastolic murmur at apex. CT of the chest revealed a hypodense filling defect in the left atrium. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a 5.5 × 4.5 cm mobile density, likely myxoma, attached to the interatrial septum and prolapsing into the left ventricle during the diastolic phase, causing functional mitral stenosis. She underwent a resection of cardiac myxoma. The histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma, and post-operative recovery was uneventful.
