Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Aortic Root Causing Intermittent Coronary Ostial Obstruction: The Diagnostic Power of 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
We describe a patient with recurrent, brief episodes of chest discomfort caused by a highly mobile papillary fibroelastoma originating from the aortic wall and intermittently encroaching on the right coronary artery ostium. Initial 2D and 3D transthoracic and 2D transesophageal echocardiography identified a highly mobile mass in the ascending aorta above the aortic valve; the exact site of attachment and its relationship to the coronary ostia could not be clearly defined. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography enabled precise anatomical reconstruction of the lesion and surrounding structures, clearly demonstrating its pedicle and proximity to the right coronary ostium. This imaging modality clarified the pathophysiological mechanism of symptoms and facilitated optimal surgical planning without the need for additional complex imaging techniques.
