Giant cardiac hemangioma in the right atrium: an asymptomatic surgical case.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCardiac hemangiomas are rare, accounting for only 5% of benign cardiac tumors. In the past, there have been few reports of giant cardiac hemangiomas that were > 100 mm in size but were asymptomatic. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old woman presented with a large asymptomatic intracardiac mass that was accidentally detected on echocardiography. The tumor was surgically resected. During surgery, a sharply margined tumor was located in the right atrium; the tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma. The patient was discharged uneventfully on the 18th postoperative day. No signs of recurrence were observed at 1 year postoperatively.
conclusionsWe report on a surgical case of an asymptomatic giant cardiac hemangioma 115 mm × 92 mm in size, as measured by echocardiography. It is difficult to diagnose cardiac tumors before surgery based on symptoms and imaging. Surgical resection is the most reliable treatment because of its accurate diagnosis and favorable prognosis.
