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

Cerebrovascular events may attribute to the fragmentation of a cardiac tumor. Due to the small number of reported cases of large vascular occlusion-acute ischemic stroke (LVO-AIS) associated with atrial myxoma, current guidelines still follow the principle of intravenous thrombolysis priority, even if LVO-AIS patients are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy, and have not recommended the timing of cardiac surgery or preoperative anticoagulation and antithrombotic therapy. Surgical removal is the definitive therapy for cardiac myxomas, especially for left-sided myxomas. With this case, we aim to demonstrate the main challenges that clinicians may encounter when dealing with patients with AIS secondary to cardiac myxoma: the difficulties with clinical diagnosis, strategies for reperfusion therapy, and therapeutic management of cardiac myxoma.
