Case Report: the transcatheter extraction of an atrial mass (TEXAS) technique.

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
Background: Intracardiac masses are historically treated with surgery. As percutaneous technologies continue to evolve, non-surgical techniques for mass removal may become options. We present a case of a woman with a large right atrial mass that was percutaneously removed Case summary: A 77-year-old woman presents with a 40 mm right atrial mass. The mass was increasing in size, and she preferred to avoid surgical removal. The tumour was removed percutaneously from the femoral vein using a large suction cannula in combination with transection of the stalk using an electrified snare. The case was complicated by a haemopericardium that was treated successfully by injecting a haemostatic matrix into the pericardial space. The pathology returned papillary fibroelastoma. Discussion: The TEXAS technique used to remove the right atrial mass in this case is a modification of a previously described technique (SEATTLE procedure). Using this method, we were able to remove a 40 mm tumour from the right atrium without surgery. This is the largest reported intracardiac tumour that has been removed
