Three's Company: Cardiac myxoma, bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis and ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm uncovered by anaplasmosis infection.

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
A 62-year-old man presented to the emergency department with chest pain, nausea, fever and hypotension consistent with sepsis. A contrast-enhanced CT revealed a 5.5 cm ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm, bicuspid aortic valve, and a left atrial mass. Transesophageal echocardiography showed a tumor in the left atrium attached to the fossa ovalis. Infectious evaluation was undertaken, and polymerase chain reaction was positive for anaplasmosis. Coronary angiography found severe coronary artery disease. After completing a course of antibiotics and recovering from his acute illness, the patient underwent left atrial tumor resection, aortic valve replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, and coronary artery bypass grafting. Pathology confirmed the tumor was a myxoma. This case illustrates that allowing time for clinical stabilization and completion of a course of antibiotics for sepsis due to anaplasmosis prior to urgent cardiovascular surgery may be a reasonable approach.
