1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Left atrial myxomas are rare, benign cardiac tumors that are often asymptomatic but may present with systemic embolic events. We report the case of a middle-aged man who presented with acute ischemic stroke, which led to the diagnosis of a left atrial myxoma. Further evaluation revealed associated infective endocarditis and critical limb ischemia, secondary to systemic embolization. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the tumor, with multidisciplinary management. This case highlights the importance of considering cardiac sources in embolic stroke of unclear origin and underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and coordinated care to prevent severe complications.
