Spontaneously disappearing right atrial mass in a preterm infant: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: There is currently a lack of evidence-based guidelines regarding ideal management of a neonate, specifically a preterm, with thrombo-embolus. There are no clear guidelines as to the time-frame of spontaneous resolution of a thrombo-embolus. Case summary: A large pedunculated right atrial mass was identified on a clinician-performed cardiac ultrasound in a preterm neonate. The mass was smaller than half of the atrial size and was not causing obstruction. The mass disappeared spontaneously within 6 days and was retrospectively presumed to have been a thrombus. The neonate remained asymptomatic with no signs suggesting that the mass may have embolized. Discussion: In this case of an incidentally identified asymptomatic intracardiac mass in a preterm infant, presumed to be a thrombus, our conservative 'wait and watch' approach was not associated with any adverse pulmonary or systemic effects.
