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 cysticercosis is rare in clinical practice and is usually accidentally identified during cardiac surgery or autopsies. Although mostly asymptomatic, cardiac cysticercosis could present with severe clinical conditions such as myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction, and arrhythmia. We present a 51-year-old female patient who accidentally discovered a solitary mass in the myocardium. The cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nonenhanced cyst in the interventricular septum protruding into the right ventricular chamber. Because of cardiac tamponade presenting during a right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy, an emergency open-heart surgery was performed to suture the ventricular wall perforation and remove the tumor. The histopathologic report demonstrated typical cysticercosis. Cardiac cysticercosis is an uncommon lesion and may present with atypical clinical and laboratory features. Therefore, this diagnosis should be considered single or multiple cardiac cystic lesions.
