[Incidental finding of cardiac myxoma in a patient with bradyarrhythmia].
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Cardiac tumors have a low incidence in general population, and its clinical presentation varies so much. The aim of this clinical case report is to highlight the importance and utility of ultrasound and echocardiogram in the emergency department as a tool for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Clinical case: 60-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department because of dyspnea, dizziness, and weakness. At his arrival he was found with 35 bpm, and a junctional bradycardia was confirmed. We decided to implant a temporary transvenous pacemaker with the aid of ultrasound and echocardiogram guidance, finding an intracardiac left atrium mass compatible with a myxoma. The patient was admitted to the cardiology ward, with no remission of the bradycardia. The arrhythmia persisted, which is why the patient underwent the resection of the cardiac tumor along with an implant of a permanent epicardial DDDR pacemaker. The patient was discharged home after a few days with no complications, and he was doing well after a 30-day follow-up. Conclusions: Diagnosis of cardiac tumors is sometimes obtained as an incidental finding with image diagnostic tests. In our case, the use of ultrasound in our emergency department as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool led us to document the cardiac tumor of our patient since his arrival to the hospital.
