Detection of Pericardial Thymoma by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundCardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) tissue characterization is important for classifying cardiac masses into benign and malignant. Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Occasionally, thymomas can present as ectopic masses in the pericardium. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old woman presented with chest pain. cMRI revealed a heterogeneous mass which was isointense to the myocardium in T1, hyperintense in T2 images, demonstrated contrast enhancement on perfusion imaging suggestive of vascularity and a constellation of features on parametric mapping and phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequences, which raised suspicion for a malignant tumor. Histology revealed a type B1 thymoma. DISCUSSION: cMRI techniques, including parametric mapping, play a crucial role in the anatomic and tissue characterization of masses, which guides staging and surgical planning if indicated. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a cardiac thymoma evaluated with modern cMRI techniques. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Atypical cMRI appearance of pericardial masses should prompt consideration of rare tumors such as thymomas.
