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

Intravenous leiomyoma is a rare condition that occurs when there is a vascular invasion of a pre-existing uterine leiomyoma. The tumor can metastasize to structures such as the heart and lungs. We discuss a case of metastasis to the heart resulting in severe tricuspid regurgitation. Surgical intervention is the primary modality; usually a staged approach involving cardiac surgery along with abdominal and/or pelvic surgery. We want to highlight the importance of fully investigating right-sided cardiac masses. While there are common etiologies for these masses, one must maintain a high degree of suspicion for an intravenous leiomyoma, especially if a female has certain risk factors such as a prior history of fibroids or a hysterectomy. We also stress the importance of a multi-disciplinary team approach when providing care to these patients, along with reviewing all modalities of imaging.
