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

Cardiac myxomas are scarce and their clinical manifestations can often be misdiagnosed or confused with other medical conditions. However, early diagnosis and surgical resection can prevent devastating complications of myxomas.We herein describe a case of a huge left atrial myxoma of a female patient in her late 30s. What makes our case unique, apart from the massive size of the myxoma, is the unusual clinical presentation with incessant cough and haemoptysis for more than 6 months. The diagnosis was made by echocardiography and cardiac MR and successful surgical resection was performed with good long-term outcome.
