Left Atrial Myxoma and Antiphospholipid Syndrome-A Case Report.

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
Cardiac myxoma (CM) is the most frequent type of primary cardiac neoplasm and is responsible for 58 to 80% of primary cardiac tumors. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) occurs most commonly in the systemic lupus erythematosus but it can be also found in other conditions. The coexistence of CM and APS is rarely described in the literature. We report an unusual case of the left atrial myxoma and concomitant APS in a female patient who presented with right-sided hemiplegia. Although rare, we must think about the CM in patients with a newly diagnosed APS and left atrial mass. Nevertheless, we must make a distinction from other possible cardiac structures, especially atrial thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography is the most frequently used initial imaging modality to detect CM. The aim of this case report was to emphasize that additional imaging modalities and multidisciplinary approach are mandatory in making a proper diagnosis and to choose a further treatment strategy.
