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

Background: Cardiac schwannoma is exceedingly rare, and few literature reports are available. We reported a case of primary cardiac schwannoma that performed preoperative multimodal imaging, aiming to highlight the significance of multimodal imaging evaluation and deepen our understanding of this tumour. Case summary: A 66-year-old man presented to our hospital, as physical examination revealed the presence of a mediastinal mass over a month. Subsequently, the patient underwent comprehensive examination. The images demonstrated the mass compressed the right coronary artery, but no invasion. Resection of the tumour by surgery was conducted, and the patient remains asymptomatic at follow-up. Discussion: This case emphasizes the role of multimodal imaging in preoperative evaluation of such rare cardiac tumours. For benign cardiac schwannoma, the preferred treatment is surgical resection.
