The Intracardiac Masses That Wouldn't Melt: Wrong Diagnosis or Wrong Treatment - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 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
A 64-year-old woman with biventricular cardiomyopathy and a cardiac resynchronization device developed recurrent spontaneous sub-segmental pulmonary emboli. Large mobile intracardiac masses adherent to all three leads were detected and failed to regress with sequential trials of antithrombotic therapy. Surgical intervention was deemed high-risk. The masses were successfully aspirated percutaneously using the AlphaVac F1885 percutaneous mechanical aspiration system (AngioDynamics, Inc) under trans-esophageal and fluoroscopic guidance, which is the first reported use of this recently CE-marked device for extracting large right atrial masses in Europe. There was no evidence of recurrent masses at thirty-day follow-up. Histopathological analysis confirmed organized thrombi.
