Incidental Right Atrial Myxoma: Multimodal Imaging and Surgical Excision.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundPrimary cardiac tumors are rare with an estimated incidence of 200 cases per million people (0.02%). Right atrial myxomas account for only 8% to 15% of these cases and may present incidentally, with nonspecific symptoms, or with embolic or obstructive complications. Prompt surgical excision is essential given risks of embolization, obstruction, and sudden cardiopulmonary compromise. CASE SUMMARY: A 62-year-old woman was found to have an incidental right atrial mass on routine imaging. Multimodal assessment with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography pulmonary angiography demonstrated a mobile, globular right atrial mass measuring 23 × 25 × 25 mm. Complete surgical excision was performed. Histopathology confirmed myxoma. Recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence on surveillance echocardiography at 12 months. DISCUSSION: Incidental findings of intracardiac masses should be urgently referred. Right atrial myxomas may mimic other cardiopulmonary and extracardiac disease and present with obstructive or embolic complications. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging, timely and complete surgical excision, and structured follow-up in achieving excellent outcomes for right atrial myxoma.
