Surgical treatment intracardiac thrombosis and pulmonary embolism complication of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common community-acquired pneumonia in children, which can uncommonly lead to intracardiac thrombosis. Previous studies have suggested that anticoagulant therapy and thrombolytic therapy were the main treatment options. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with MPP complicated by intracardiac thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The patient presented with persistent fever, chest pain, and elevated D-dimer levels. The computed tomography angiography (CTA) and echocardiography revealed a thrombus extension from the right inferior pulmonary vein to the left atrium. Considering the risk of thrombus detachment, surgical thrombectomy was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Two months follow-up revealed no evidence of new thrombus formation and D-dimer levels normalized.
conclusionsIn cases of MPP complicated by intracardiac thrombus formation, particularly involving the left heart chambers, surgical thrombectomy may be a viable treatment option. D-dimer served as an important biomarker for both the early detection of thrombosis and the monitoring of treatment efficacy.
