Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes following cardiac myxoma resection.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular and thoracic research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac neoplasm (30-50%) with clinical incident of 0.5/ million population. Tranthoracic echocardiography remains the investigation of choice. Surgical excision is curative. The present study aims to analyze demographic and clinical characteristics as well as surgical outcomes in terms of mortality and recurrence of cardiac myxoma. Methods: Thirty patients of cardiac myxoma who met the inclusion criteria during study period study period, January-2018 to April-2024 were included. Data was analyzed for demographic characteristics, echocardiographic findings of myxoma and associated valve lesion, associated valve surgery and survival outcome. Results: Of all subjects, 83.33% presented with dyspnea. Majority of myxoma, 76.67% were attached to interatrial septum. Overall survival at 1- and 3- year was 91.23%. Recurrence free survival at 1-, 3- years and end of this study were 100%, 84.71% and 84.71% respectively. Myxomas with valvular incompetence are rare entity and there is paucity of data and evidences recommending concomitant valve intervention in such cases. There were no immediate peri-operative deaths, however, in contrast to other studies; surgical site infection was the most common post operative complication. Overall survival at 1- and 3- year was 91.23%. Recurrence free survival at 1-, 3- years and end of this study were 100%, 84.71% and 84.71% respectively. Recurrence occurred in first- and third-year following surgery. Conclusion: Study highlights decent outcomes following cardiac myxoma resection. Case specific concomitant valve intervention spiral the success of surgery.
