Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Left Atrial Papillary Fibroelastoma: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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 papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare benign cardiac tumor that typically arises on valvular endocardium and carries the potential for serious complications despite its non-malignant nature. We present a case of an elderly patient with a PFE in an unusual location, leading to stroke. The patient's history, diagnostic workup, surgical management, and outcomes are detailed. This case is noteworthy due to the tumor's atypical left atrial location, an exceedingly rare site, and its presentation as an acute ischemic stroke. In the context of this case, we discuss the clinical significance of PFEs, including their epidemiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management strategies. This case underlines the need for vigilance in detecting cardiac sources of emboli in stroke patients and supports early surgical excision of PFEs when feasible to avert potentially life-threatening sequelae.
