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

We present a case report of a right atrial myxoma first diagnosed on a transthoracic echocardiogram after telephone consultations held in lieu of face-to-face consultations during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The echocardiogram was requested on the second telephone consultation 3 months after an initial presentation with a dry cough and fatigue due to new symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath raising suspicion of heart failure. Virtual consultations continue to replace face-to-face consultations to avoid unnecessary exposure to COVID and reduce health care costs. This case report focuses on the importance of obtaining a systematic history, identifying red flags, referring to appropriate specialties and requesting the right investigations for early diagnosis and management of conditions with serious complications.
