Invasive cardiac lipoma at the left ventricular intermuscular region: 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
The present study described the case of a 22-year-old woman who had symptoms of left chest pain for >6 months, with further aggravation over 2 days. Computed tomography (CT) images of the mediastinal and pulmonary windows showed low-density shadows in the left ventricle. Echocardiography indicated a slightly stronger echo cluster in the left ventricle, with a range of ~29x30x35 mm, which was closely related to the lower wall and part of the posterior wall of the left ventricle. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that the left ventricular mass was enhanced in a circular and dot-line shape, with a solid mass occupying the left ventricle and a rich blood supply. CT angiography revealed a nodule of size 27x27x24 mm in the left ventricle. During the operation, it was observed that the cardiac lipoma invaded the chordae tendinae and papillary muscle, and a valve replacement was performed. Postoperative examination revealed a piece of gray and anaplastic tissue, measuring 30x22x17 mm. The pathology of the specimen showed that the morphology of the left ventricular mass met the criteria of an intramuscular lipoma. The present study reported a cardiac lipoma involving the left anterior chordae tendinae and papillary muscle, with the patient showing only nonspecific symptoms. Early surgery should be applied to improve the prognosis of cardiac lipoma.
