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

backgroundCarney complex (CNC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by endocrine and nonendocrine tumors, including cardiac myxomas, which are a leading cause of mortality due to embolic events, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 33-year-old man with CNC who experienced stroke-like symptoms due to recurrence of a left atrial myxoma 10 years after initial resection. He underwent successful surgical resection. DISCUSSION: Cardiac myxoma recurrence is higher in patients with CNC, with rates up to 22% compared with 2% to 3% in sporadic cases. This case underscores the importance of lifelong, multidisciplinary care and rigorous surveillance to prevent severe cardiovascular complications. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Although rare, it is important to recognize the clinical features and complications of CNC, including the increased risk of recurrent cardiac myxomas. Lifelong cardiac imaging is recommended at 6- to 12-month intervals in patients with CNC.
