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

Cardiac myxomas are a rare phenomenon within the general population, and although there are reports of them, giant myxomas are not common in the medical literature. This report presents a case of a giant left atrial cardiac myxoma in a 57-year-old female patient who was largely asymptomatic until she presented with a diffuse thromboembolic stroke. This case report highlights the importance of surgical management of cardiac myxomas and discusses the difference in open vs minimally invasive surgical resection of giant cardiac myxomas.
