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

objectiveIntravascular leiomyoma (IVL) is a rare benign tumor extending from the uterus into the surrounding venous structures and may extend into the heart, leading to occlusion of the tricuspid or pulmonary valve resulting in sudden cardiac death. KEY STEPS: We present a 56-year-old woman with an IVL extending into the right atrium and ventricle. We excised in a staged procedure, first removing the intracardiac and suprahepatic tumor component, followed by laparotomy, excision of the pelvic mass, bilateral oophorectomy, and caval thrombectomy 6 weeks later. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: IVL may extend into the heart necessitating total cardiopulmonary bypass for excision either in a single or multistage procedure. We recommend a multistage approach because the tumor is slowly growing and encapsulated. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Management requires careful planning with multiple surgical disciplines, cardiology, and radiology to determine the extent and plan for surgical excision.
