Totally endoscopic resection of right atrial myxoma on beating heart: a case serries.

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
backgroundThere are few reports on totally endoscopic resection of right atrial (RA) myxoma, all of which were performed after aortic cross-clamping. Beating-heart RA myxoma resection through small trocars and port represents a novel, simple, and safe approach. CASE PRESENTATION: Three patients were diagnosed with RA myxomas arising from the interatrial septum, with sizes ranging from 20 to 64 mm. In two cases, the masses were immobile or minimally mobile, while the remaining patient exhibited significant mobility of the mass through the tricuspid valve, resulting in moderate regurgitation. All patients successfully underwent totally endoscopic myxoma resection on beating heart.
conclusionsCompared to procedures involving aortic cross-clamping, beating-heart surgery offers several advantages: (1) reduced operation times, lowered risk of aortic root complications, and shortened training duration for surgeons. Air embolism prevention techniques, including CO₂ insufflation, arterial pressure control, and keeping the left atrium full of blood, have been demonstrated to be safe through experimental models and large-scale clinical studies.
