Atrial Myxoma and Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Embolic Stroke Strikes Days Before Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. Their primary location is the left atrium, but they can arise in any cardiac chamber. Although histologically benign, atrial myxomas are functionally malignant due to their high embolic potential, which can lead to severe complications such as ischemic stroke. Left atrial myxoma can mimic mitral stenosis by causing obstruction to the blood flow at the level of the mitral valve. In developing countries, rheumatic mitral valve is the most common cause of mitral stenosis, and the concurrent occurrence of mitral stenosis and rheumatic heart disease is a rarity. We present a case of a 43-year-old man diagnosed with both conditions who developed an ischemic stroke due to tumor embolization two days prior to planned surgical intervention. This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and management in patients with concurrent cardiac pathologies.
