A Case of Left Ventricular Masson's Tumor: Not Every Heart Tumor Is a Myxoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Masson's tumor is a benign tumor that usually arises secondary to vascular trauma or thrombi, leading to vascular proliferation. Masson's tumors are most commonly reported in the head, neck, and extremities. Cases in the heart are exceedingly rare, with most case reports describing the left atrium as the most common location. Even though the tumor is benign, excision is recommended due to the risk of embolization. This is a case of Masson's tumor located in the left ventricle. The patient is a 24-year-old female, who presented complaining of palpitations and lightheadedness. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mobile echodensity in the left ventricle. Cardiac MRI showed characteristics similar to a myxoma. The patient underwent surgical resection and a biopsy showed Masson's tumor. This case report focuses on the histopathological features and imaging findings of Masson's tumor.
