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 lipomas, especially ones originating from the left ventricle, are extremely rare. They may be asymptomatic or may present with various non-specific symptoms. Herein, we report a case of a giant lipoma of the left ventricle, with frequent ventricular premature beats on electrocardiogram. An echocardiogram demonstrated a large hyperechoic mass occupying a significant portion of the left ventricle. We further describe the diagnostic workup utilizing multimodality cardiac imaging and treatment options. Cardiac MRI demonstrated fat suppression, and cardiac CT showed a homogenous low-attenuation mass suggesting lipomatous matter. The mass was subsequently surgically removed for pathology examination in order to rule out liposarcoma. Histopathology demonstrated mature adipocytes, entrapped myocytes with hypertrophy, and interstitial fibrosis foci confirming the diagnosis of lipoma.
