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 papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common benign cardiac tumors and are typically solitary. PFEs affecting both sides of the heart are exceptionally rare, with only four cases reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of a 63-year-old male presenting with signs and symptoms of embolic strokes and an embolism in the coronary arteries. An echocardiogram showed multiple masses on both the mitral and tricuspid valve leaflets. Because of the risk of embolism, he underwent successful valve-sparing surgical resection without complications. The follow-up echocardiogram at 6 months showed no recurrence and competence of both the mitral and tricuspid valves with minimal regurgitation.
