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

A 71-year-old woman with no prior cardiac history presented to the cardiology clinic following referral from her primary care physician for evaluation of progressive dyspnea, fatigue, and palpitations over a six-month period. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large, mobile mass attached to the interatrial septum measuring 6.4×3.9 cm, consistent with a left atrial myxoma. There was evidence of left ventricular inflow obstruction, with a mean mitral valve gradient of 15 mmHg. Further assessment determined that the mass was causing functional severe mitral stenosis, resulting in impaired left ventricular filling. A transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the presence of the mass. The patient subsequently underwent surgical resection of the tumor via cardiopulmonary bypass. Intraoperative findings confirmed a left atrial myxoma measuring 7.1×7×4 cm. This case highlights a rare presentation of a rapidly enlarging atrial myxoma leading to functional mitral stenosis.
