Atrial Myxoma Presenting as an Atypical Stroke in a Young Patient With a Recent COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumor of the heart and can occasionally present as an ischemic stroke with neurologic symptoms secondary to embolic phenomena. We present a case of a 42-year-old male with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection two months prior who presented to the emergency department with unilateral left-sided weakness and paresthesia. After being diagnosed with multifocal ischemic strokes, further evaluation utilizing a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) revealed a 5 × 2 cm left atrial myxoma prolapsing the mitral valve, which was the presumed cause of the patient's strokes. The myxoma was successfully removed via robotic thoracoscopy. Our case demonstrates the importance of considering atrial myxoma in the evaluation of stroke in young and middle-aged patients even in the presence of multiple cardiovascular and thrombotic risk factors.
