Giant cardiac schwannoma around the left atrium: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
A 57-year-old male presented with dyspnea and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on a chest X-ray. Further evaluation with contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant heterogeneous mediastinal mass, ~8.9 × 7.3 × 12.2 cm, with peripheral calcifications. Surgical resection was performed via a left thoracotomy approach using the left fifth intercostal space. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established through the femoral vessels for safer and more controlled resection. The tumor, contiguous with the left atrium, was successfully excised using two Endo GIA staplers. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. This case demonstrates that the left thoracotomy approach with cardiopulmonary bypass and the use of Endo GIA staplers is a feasible and effective option for resecting large, well-defined cardiac schwannomas.
