Multimodality Imaging Evaluation of Primary Right Atrial Paraganglioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Cardiac paraganglioma (CPGL) accounts for 1-3% of cardiac tumors and is usually benign. In total, 35-50% of CPGL lesions secrete catecholamines, causing hypertension, excessive sweating, palpitations, headache, and other symptoms. Preoperative imaging evaluation is important to determine the location of the cardiac mass, its blood supply vessels, and the relationship with surrounding structures. Multimodal imaging techniques combine with morphological and functional information to provide powerful methods for preoperative diagnosis and lesion localization. Furthermore, they can assist to reduce the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications and improve patient prognosis. Case Report: A 67-year-old woman suffered from paroxysmal palpitations with a heart rate of 110 beats per minute 1 month ago. Urine catecholamine and methoxyepinephrine levels were significantly increased. The patient had a 5-year history of hypertension with a maximum blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg. Computed tomography (CT) examination found a soft tissue mass in the right atrium with heterogeneous and significant enhancement, whose blood supply was from the left ileal branch artery. The patient then underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The lesion showed inhomogeneous iso signals on the T1-weighted image (T1WI), slightly high signals on the T2 fat-suppression image, inhomogeneous high signals on the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images. The mass exhibited heterogeneous and significant enhancement on the first perfusion and delayed scans after intravenous contrast injection. However, abnormal signals were surprisingly found in the patient's right lung, and the possibility of metastatic lesions could not be excluded. The patient underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Conclusion: The combination of
