Calcified amorphous tumor located on a severely calcified mitral annulus in a patient with normal renal function.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) of the heart is a rare, nonneoplastic, intracavitary cardiac mass. Histological examination shows that it contains calcified and amorphous fibrous material with underlying chronic inflammation. Surgical excision is generally recommended to avoid future embolism. The risk of embolism has been reported to be especially high in mitral-annular-calcification-related CAT, which constitutes a subgroup of CAT that is often associated with end-stage renal disease. A case of a CAT attached to the anterior annulus of the mitral valve that was easily removed with a light touch of the forceps through aortotomy is reported.
