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

Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. In 20% of cases, they arise from the right atrium. Only a few such tumors are reported to have arisen from the inferior vena cava. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with recurrent vomiting and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), found to have a massive myxoma emerging from the suprahepatic Inferior vena cava (IVC) involving the eustachian valve, and extending to the right atrium. Surgical excision was successful, leading to an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention in managing right atrial myxomas to prevent potential complications such as embolism and sudden death.
