Misattribution of Dyspnea: Unveiling Atrial Myxoma as the True Culprit.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 myxomas are the most common primary tumors of cardiac neoplasm, predominantly originating within the left atrium (LA). In the present case, a 41-year-old male, identified as a heavy smoker for 15 years, previously diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and currently undergoing treatment, presented with a history of dyspnea persisting for one year. Initially, the patient presented to the internal medicine outpatient clinic and was diagnosed with an exacerbation of COPD, but subsequent evaluation revealed the presence of a large mobile pedunculated mass situated in the LA using echocardiography. Subsequently, the mass was surgically excised using a median sternotomy approach. The histopathological examination confirmed cardiac myxoma. This occurrence underscores the significance of considering cardiac myxoma as a plausible differential diagnosis in instances of dyspnea to avert potential complications.
