A pair of two atrial myxomas mimic thrombus in left atrial appendage and cause ischemic stroke in a young adult: a case report.

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: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability and can be rarely caused by cardiac myxoma. Case Summary: Here, we report about a 56-year-old man who suffered from a stroke presented with acute dysarthria and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed an acute stroke. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was assumed the cause of stroke. Because of contraindication to anticoagulation due to previous cerebral haemorrhage with rivaroxaban the patient was admitted to interventional occlusion of left atrial appendage. Echocardiography revealed two left atrial masses suggestive of atrial myxomas. The patient was transferred to remove the two myxomas operatively with simultaneous resection of left atrial appendage. Discussion: Atrial myxomas should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke. They should be managed early to prevent recurrent strokes.
