Imaging of Mobile Emboligenic Calcified Amorphous Tumor in Mitral Annular Caseous Calcification.

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
backgroundCaseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA), a rare variant of mitral annular calcification, is occasionally associated with calcified amorphous tumors (CATs). These distinctive lesions are poorly documented, particularly regarding their potential for mobility and embolism. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old woman presented with acute left-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria. Serial echocardiography revealed CCMA-associated CAT with characteristic hypoechogenic appearance and peripheral calcification, demonstrating significant mobility with embolic events. The patient underwent urgent tumor resection, mitral valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting, resulting in full recovery. DISCUSSION: This case uniquely captures the mobility and embolic risk of CCMA-associated CAT through serial imaging, including echocardiography. Appropriate modality selection and vigilant monitoring proved critical in guiding timely surgical intervention for this dynamically evolving cardiac mass. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: CCMA-associated CATs may exhibit increased mobility and embolic potential, necessitating vigilant echocardiographic monitoring. Early surgical intervention could prevent embolic complications in these complex cardiac pathologies.
