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
backgroundMassive myocardial calcification is an extremely rare condition with diverse etiologies, often requiring multimodality imaging for diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old woman with coronary artery disease and a history of ovarian carcinoma presented with dizziness and dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed a large floating structure on the anterior mitral leaflet, left ventricular hypertrophy, and extensive myocardial calcification. Preoperative imaging confirmed calcifications, and surgery included decalcification, subvalvular myectomy, and aortic valve replacement. Histology revealed fibrosis and scarring. Four years later, she developed pulmonary hypertension, increased calcification, and right ventricular dysfunction. Despite thorough evaluation, the etiology of the calcification remained unclear, with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy considered a probable underlying condition. DISCUSSION: This case highlights a rare presentation of myocardial calcification, emphasizing the value of multimodality imaging and comprehensive diagnostic workup. It contributes to the limited literature on the condition and its management challenges. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Multimodality imaging and a systematic approach are vital for diagnosing and managing rare cardiac conditions like massive myocardial calcification.
