Clinical and laboratory manifestations, ECG findings, and outcomes of right atrial myxoma: a systematic review of cases reported worldwide.
Review in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundThe presence of cardiac myxoma in the right atrium (RA) is rare. There is limited knowledge regarding the clinical symptoms and diagnosis of RA myxoma. This systematic review aimed to provide a summary of the clinical and laboratory characteristics, electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, and outcome previous cases with RA myxoma.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were case reports and case series written in English that provided sufficient data on the manifestation of RA myxoma. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative analysis.
resultsThe search identified 619 patients from 480 eligible studies. The patient's mean age was 45.7 ± 17.6 years, and 55.4% of cases were female. The most common clinical manifestations of RA myxoma were cardiac, systemic, and neurologic manifestations which reported in 77.0%, 34.8%, and 21.1% of cases, respectively. Besides, 11.7% of RA myxoma were asymptomatic. ECG findings revealed normal in 39.4% reported cases. The ECG abnormalities included tall or peaked P-wave, RA and LA enlargement (19.2%), abnormal T-wave (14.0%), sinus tachycardia (11.8%), and incomplete or complete RBBB (11.2%). Echocardiography remained the diagnostic method in a majority of the cases. The mortality rate of RA myxoma was low (9.2%) during the follow-up.
conclusionsThis systematic review provides a comprehensive summary of the clinical and laboratory manifestations and outcomes of RA myxoma, contributing to the existing knowledge on this rare cardiac tumor.
