1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 calcified amorphous tumors (CAT) are rarely encountered nonneoplastic tumors that may arise within any cardiac chamber. Involvement of the mitral valve causing pathology is even less frequently reported. We report the case of a CAT arising on the posterior mitral valve leaflet resulting in chordal rupture and severe mitral insufficiency. Multi-modality imaging was performed before definitive diagnosis through histology. We review the morphological features encountered in our case to highlight the diagnostic difficulties and raise awareness of this peculiar pathology.
