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

backgroundTricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign primary cardiac tumor located on the tricuspid valve, with a potential risk of embolism. Here, we report a case of tricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma successfully treated with surgical resection. The patient remained recurrence-free after a one-year follow-up. CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old female patient was admitted with a three-year history of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 10 × 9 mm mass at the root of the right atrial surface of the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet, exhibiting movement in sync with valve opening and closing. The patient underwent surgical resection, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of papillary fibroelastoma.

conclusionsTricuspid valve papillary fibroelastoma is still a rare benign cardiac tumor. Echocardiography serves as a reliable diagnostic tool. By reviewing the literature, we suggest that for tricuspid valve PFE with right-sided embolism and with a diameter greater than 5 mm, early surgical resection should be considered to prevent serious complications such as embolization.
