Surgical resection of primary cardiac fibroma of the left ventricle in an adult woman: case report.
Article in European heart journal. 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
Background: Primary cardiac fibroma is a rare benign tumour, accounting for ∼1% of all primary cardiac tumours in adults. Although histologically benign, it can cause severe complications including arrhythmias, heart failure, and even sudden death. Case summary: We report a 51-year-old female presenting with chest pain and exertional dyspnoea. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large intramyocardial mass at the left ventricular apex. The patient underwent complete surgical resection under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histopathology confirmed a primary cardiac fibroma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained well at 6-month follow-up without recurrence. Discussion: Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for primary cardiac fibroma, preventing life-threatening arrhythmias and haemodynamic compromise. This case highlights the importance of multimodality imaging and the role of surgical management.
