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

backgroundCardiac myxoma is a benign neoplasm and one of the most common types of primary cardiac tumors. Synchronous cardiac myxoma and other malignancies are extremely rare, and only limited cases have been reported. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a young patient with newly diagnosed locally advanced laryngeal cancer, with a synchronous cardiac tumor detected on staging scans. An echocardiogram showed the typical appearance of myxoma in the left atrium. Early cardiac surgery was performed in view of its obstructive features and post cardiac surgery recovery was uneventful. The patient was scheduled for subsequent oncological treatment for the laryngeal cancer. However, due to rapid progression of the advanced laryngeal malignancy, he was placed on supportive care.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first reported case of synchronous cardiac myxoma with laryngeal malignancy. Individualized treatment strategy should be adopted to manage synchronous tumors in a multidisciplinary approach. The most life-threatening condition needs be treated first. Single resection, staged operations or simultaneous resection of both tumors have been reported with good outcomes.
