Silent Intrusion: Left Atrial Myxoma in an Afro-Caribbean Woman.
Article in Cureus, 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
Although cardiac myxomas are benign tumors, they can be associated with significant symptoms and serious embolic complications. Timely investigations and diagnosis can prevent a myriad of complications. Definitive treatment, in the form of surgical excision, can prevent life-threatening embolization. They are the most common benign cardiac tumors, but they remain relatively rare and can mimic inflammatory disorders. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is warranted when evaluating certain symptoms. This is the case report of a middle-aged, Afro-Caribbean woman who presented with mild dyspnea. Further investigations led to the finding of a silent left atrial myxoma. Caribbean data on incidence and prevalence are sparse. Education regarding presentation and indications for anticoagulation is useful and relevant, as treatment is evolving. A multidisciplinary approach to managing these patients is essential.
