Pulmonary artery mass with PIK3CA mutation after orthotopic heart transplantation.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients can develop de novo malignancies following orthotopic heart transplantation. However, vascular tumors are not commonly described in this population. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 69-year-old female with a history of orthotopic heart transplantation for chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy who developed an incidental pulmonary artery mass six years after her transplantation. Given concerns for malignancy, the patient underwent an operative excisional biopsy through a left anterior mini-thoracotomy with femoral artery and vein cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. The mass was determined to be a non-malignant vascular overgrowth with PIK3CA mutation.
conclusionWe present the case of an unusual pulmonary artery mass with PIK3CA mutation found in a post heart transplant patient. We were able to spare her the morbidity of a redo-sternotomy by excising the mass via a minimally invasive left anterior thoracotomy approach.
