Atrial septal paraganglioma mistaken for a myxoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundCardiac tumors are relatively uncommon, with myxoma being the most prevalent. Atrial septal paraganglioma is a significantly rarer form of malignant cardiac tumor that secretes catecholamines. There are notable similarities in their clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics, which can lead to misdiagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 47-year-old Han man with atypical chest pain and syncope who was found to have a mass (3.6 cm × 2.9 cm) in the left atrium. After an imaging examination, a myxoma was suspected. The tumor was excised during a cardiac surgery, and subsequent pathological analysis determined that the mass was actually a paraganglioma. The patient experienced a favorable recovery, and there was no evidence of recurrence during a 1-year period of postoperative monitoring.
conclusionThis case emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis of cardiac tumors, especially in atypical clinical manifestations, imaging, and biochemical auxiliary examination. Accurate diagnosis is crucial in the choice of treatment options and prognostic evaluation.
