Cardiac myxoma: a comprehensive review.
Review in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heart tumours are a diverse group of tumours that may present with symptoms or be discovered incidentally when a patient is being evaluated for a physical or seemingly unrelated ailment. Cardiac myxoma, although rare, is the second most common benign primary cardiac tumours after papillary fibroelastoma. It occurs in sporadic form and familial form, as seen in Carney complex disorder. Cardiac myxoma can affect all age groups, but the majority manifests in their third to sixth decade of life, with a mean age of 50 years at diagnosis. There is a slight preponderance in females in a ratio of 2:1. Conversely, they are incredibly uncommon in fetuses and newborns but commonly diagnosed in children around a mean age of 9-10 years. About 90% originate in the atrium as a solitary or pedunculated mass. Within the atrial chamber, 75% occur on the left atrium close to the fossa ovalis, while others occur in the right atrium, ventricles, and valves. Serious complications often arise even in the absence of symptoms, and such complications include intracardiac obstruction, systemic and pulmonary emboli, as well as constitutional symptoms that mimic connective tissue and inflammatory diseases. There is no pathognomonic clinical presentation. Complete surgical excision of the tumour, including the use of robotic surgery, is the key component of a successful course of treatment. To monitor for tumour recurrence, long-term follow-up is frequently carried out with interval echocardiography. This review will focus on providing information on the various forms of cardiac myxoma, aetiology, molecular genetics, clinical presentation, histopathologic findings, differential diagnosis, treatment, and complications.
