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

Primary cardiac tumors are rare; however, atrial myxoma is one of the most common benign cardiac tumors. Myxomas may arise from any of the cardiac chambers but have a predilection for the left atrium. Its manifestations may mimic left heart failure or pulmonary hypertension either by causing blood flow obstruction or by mitral regurgitation. Patients can also present with thromboembolic features. Often, the diagnosis may be missed or delayed due to subclinical cardiac manifestations. Prompt diagnosis and surgical resection is necessary for favorable prognosis. Often, mitral valve replacement may be needed. We report a rare case of rapidly growing atrial myxoma in a 39-year-old female who presented with progressively worsening shortness of breath and cough with a previously normal echocardiogram 8 months prior. Her symptoms resolved after surgical resection and mitral valve replacement.
