Preoperative management and anticoagulant efficacy in atrial myxoma-associated acute ischemic stroke: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common complication of atrial myxoma (AM), and most emboli originate from a thrombus attached to the surface of the myxoma, with occasional shedding of tumor fragments leading to stroke. Clinical manifestations of AM include mitral valve obstruction, systemic embolism, and weakness. However, neurological deficits and other nonspecific manifestations may mask the presence of AM. The surgical resection is the most effective treatment for these conditions. However, the main problem is the lack of consensus regarding the prevention and treatment of stroke complicated by myxoma during the perioperative period. This study aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of AM and the associated AIS. Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old patient with AM who presented with chest pain, palpitations, and sudden dizziness and had a stroke under anticoagulant treatment during the admission period. We also reviewed and summarized the clinical presentations and characteristics of similar previously reported cases. Our review emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate perioperative management of AM and its associated AIS.
