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

Background: Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary benign cardiac tumor, with 95% occurring in the atria and only about 3% in the ventricles. Left ventricular (LV) myxomas are even rarer. These tumors can lead to adverse consequences, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden death. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, and complete resection is necessary to prevent late recurrence. Case presentation: We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with a LV myxoma by multimodal imaging and successfully underwent thoracoscopically assisted surgical resection with a good prognosis. Conclusions: This case discusses the clinical characteristics, as well as key points in the diagnosis and treatment, through the case of a patient with LV myxoma.
