Case report: Multiple brain metastases of atrial myxoma: Clinical experience and literature review.

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
Myxoma is the most common type of benign cardiac tumor in adults, and it has a strong tendency to embolize or metastasize to distant organs. Patients with multiple brain metastases have rarely been seen in clinics; hence, standard treatment protocols for multimyxoma metastasis in the brain have not been established. We present the case of a 47-year-old female who had convulsions in the right hand and repeated seizures. Computed tomography revealed multiple tumor sites in her brain. Craniotomy was conducted to remove the tumor sites. However, recurrent brain tumors and unexpected cerebral infarctions occurred frequently shortly after the treatment because the cardiac myxoma had not been treated due to the patient's personal concerns. The myxoma was resected by gamma knife radiosurgery, and temozolomide was given prior to cardiac surgery. There has been no evidence of tumor recurrence from the 2 years following the surgery until the present. This case highlights the importance of prioritizing cardiac lesions over cerebral lesions; if a cerebral metastasis has been found, it is likely that the cardiac myxoma is already unstable, with high rates of spread and metastasis. Therefore, it is unwise to treat metastasis sites before the cardiac myxoma. Additionally, the case suggests that gamma knife radiosurgery combined with temozolomide is effective as treatment for multiple myxoma metastasis in the brain. Compared with conventional cerebral surgery, gamma knife radiosurgery is safer, causes less bleeding, and requires a shorter time for recovery.
