A case report of successful subtotal resection giant right atrial lipoma avoiding heart transplantation.

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
backgroundPrimary cardiac tumors are rare, with lipomas accounting for approximately 8–10% of benign neoplasms. They can arise in any chamber or layer of the heart; however, large lipomas, especially in the right atrium, are very uncommon and cause significant clinical complications. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 37-year-old male with a giant right atrial lipoma measuring 17 × 10 × 14 cm (weighing 910 g), which caused symptoms of heart failure. After thorough evaluation and considering preserved ventricular function, a subtotal surgical resection of the tumor with atrial wall reconstruction was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful, the patient recovered well, and no recurrence was detected at 6-month follow-up.
conclusionsThis case highlights the effectiveness of subtotal resection of large benign tumors as an alternative to heart transplantation.
