1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Primary cardiac tumors (PCT), such as myxoma, are rare and predominantly benign. Angiofibroma tumors are an extremely rare subtype of PCT, reported in less than ten cases. In this study, we presented a mixed tumor of myxoma and angiofibroma for the first time in the human heart. Case Presentation: This case report describes a 30-year old man with a positive cerebrovascular accident (CVA) history who presented with syncope, aphasia, and right-side hemiparesis to the emergency department. The imaging assessment, including echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, revealed a suspected cardiac tumor in his left atrium extended to the interatrial septum. Therefore, during tumor resection surgery, the mass was removed entirely. Microscopical pathology and desmin immunohistochemical and trichrome staining findings confirmed the angiofibroma diagnosis with myxoma components. Conclusion: According to our presentation, angiofibroma can be accompanied by myxoma and result in neurological symptoms. The best treatment for this dual component tumor is surgical resection of the tumor and the affected margin.
