Single-stage laparotomy for intracardiac leiomyomatosis without open-heart surgery: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 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
backgroundIntracardiac leiomyomatosis is a rare leiomyoma that originates from the uterus. It can be easily misdiagnosed because of its nonspecific manifestations. In this case, we aim to emphasize the complete resection of the ICL with a single-stage laparotomy. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a case of a 36-year-old female who presented with dyspnea and a mobile tumor in the right atrium that was detected in transthoracic echocardiography prior to cosmetic surgery. The results of computed tomography (CT) scan, Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) revealed a mass in the IVC extending into the right atrium and pelvic veins. One-stage surgery, along with transesophageal echocardiography monitoring, was performed for the patient, and the tumor was resected entirely without the need for open-heart surgery.
conclusionThis case report suggests that, in selected cases, one-stage surgery through laparotomy for resecting intravenous leiomyomatosis may be a safer and more efficient approach in comparison with the traditional two-stage operation, due to fewer complications. Based on our case, anticoagulant therapy may also be essential to reduce the risk of embolism during this single-stage laparotomy. Further studies are needed to validate the efficacy and safety of this approach.
