A Rare Case of Cavernous Hemangioma of the Mitral Valve Presenting As Multifocal Embolic Brain Infarcts.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Primary cardiac tumors (PCTs) are rare and represent a heterogeneous group of tumors, potentially arising from various parts of the heart. The majority of these tumors are benign (90%), with myxoma being the most common subtype. Cardiac hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors that constitute 1-2% of all benign heart neoplasms. We present a rare case of a 79-year-old woman presented with multifocal embolic brain infarcts secondary to cavernous hemangioma of the mitral valve (MV). Cavernous hemangioma was successfully resected with follow-up imaging at six months, demonstrating no regrowth. There are no pathognomonic signs or findings to suggest cavernous hemangioma of the MV on clinical examination or imaging studies. Surgical resection and histopathologic analysis remain the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment, respectively. Following complete resection, the prognosis is generally favorable with a low recurrence rate, but periodic echocardiography is recommended to detect any potential recurrence.
