Right Atrial Thrombus Masquerading as Myxoma.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 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
Introduction: In-situ right atrial (RA) thrombus is a rare occurrence typically associated with heightened inflammatory or hypercoagulable states. Here, we present a case of in-situ RA thrombus mimicking atrial myxoma in a patient with sepsis and bacteraemia. Case description: A 41-year-old man presented with septic arthritis and bacteraemia caused by methicillin-resistant Discussion: The patient's in-situ RA thrombus likely developed in response to a heightened inflammatory state associated with sepsis. Limited data exist on in-situ RA thrombi in the absence of atrial fibrillation, though some reports suggest a correlation between heightened inflammation and a hypercoagulable state. Conclusion: CMR imaging is invaluable for characterising such masses and can aid in distinguishing a thrombus from a myxoma. LEARNING POINTS: Differentiating right atrial (RA) thrombus from myxoma: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is essential for distinguishing RA thrombus from myxoma, preventing unnecessary surgeries.Hypercoagulable and inflammatory states: spontaneous in-situ RA thrombi can occur without deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or atrial fibrillation, especially in hypercoagulable and inflammatory conditions.Transcatheter aspiration: this less invasive alternative to surgery is effective for large, mobile RA thrombi, reducing embolisation risk.
