Cardiac lipoma-induced neonatal hypoxemia: a case report underscoring radiological diagnosis and a literature review.
Article in Radiology 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
Cardiac tumors in neonates are exceedingly rare, with cardiac lipomas representing an exceptionally uncommon subtype associated with high mortality due to hemodynamic compromise. This report presents a 2-day-old Arab male neonate admitted with acute hypoxemia and cardiomegaly. Echocardiography and CT imaging revealed a large hyperechoic, fatty-density mass (3.8 × 3.5 × 3.3 cm) in the left ventricle, suggestive of a cardiac lipoma, but biopsy or surgical intervention could not be performed due to rapid clinical deterioration culminating in fatal cardiopulmonary failure. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of neonatal cardiac tumors, highlighting the need for clinical suspicion and early prenatal surveillance to avoid their life-threatening mass effects and enable multidisciplinary planning. Future research should prioritize biomarkers, risk-stratification tools, and improved imaging algorithms to facilitate timely diagnosis and intervention in low-resource contexts.
