Massive left atrial myxoma leading to recurrent cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) in a young woman: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Myxomas are tumors that occur due to uncontrolled proliferation of mesenchymal cells. Cardiac myxomas although very rare, are still the most common primary tumor of heart. Cardiac myxomas have a prevalence of 0.03% in the general population. They can have a variety of clinical presentations with obstructive cardiac symptoms, constitutional symptoms and symptoms due to embolism to other body parts chief among them. CNS embolism with stroke is among the rarest clinical presentation of cardiac myxomas. Our article portrays a case of cardiac myxomas that initially resulted in episodes of dyspnea and syncope and eventually led to recurrent episodes of transient ischemic attack and stroke. Case was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography and managed surgically by medial sternotomy. Myxoma, a benign primary cardiac tumor is itself a rare occurrence, embolization of myxoma leading to multiple strokes is an atypical clinical presentation. Our report would be a valuable addition to the already existing literature.
