Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in a Patient with Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cardiac myxoma is an infrequent but curable cause of ischemic stroke. There are no guidelines addressing the timing of surgery to excise the tumour or for the use of thrombolysis or thrombectomy. We present a case with an ischemic stroke which was diagnosed to have atrial myxoma. She was planned for surgical excision of the tumour but suffered from a second ischemic stroke while awaiting surgery. This article aims to highlight vital aspects of this rare phenomenon and discuss the prospects of the timing of surgery and neurosurgical intervention. The importance of a proper cardiac evaluation in all cases of stroke is highlighted. Keywords: cardiac tumour; myxoma; cardiac surgery; ischemic stroke.
