Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma in an unusual left atrial location in combination with mediastinal thymic cyst: a case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
backgroundCardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare, benign endocardial tumors most commonly found on cardiac valves. Non-valvular locations, particularly the posterior left atrial wall, are exceptionally uncommon. Thymic cysts are also rare lesions. The presence of these two non-homologous tumors in a single patient has not been previously documented. CASE PRESENTATION: This report presents a case of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma located on the posterior left atrial wall coexisting with a thymic cyst in the anterior mediastinum, both of which were incidentally detected and surgically treated.
conclusionThis is the first reported case of a cardiac papillary fibroelastoma arising from the posterior left atrial wall coexisting with a thymic cyst. Despite their benign nature, such lesions carry potential clinical risks. Their simultaneous detection and successful surgical management highlight the value of comprehensive imaging and multidisciplinary care.
