Primary Cardiac Neoplasms: A 12-Year Institutional Experience at a National Cardiac Referral Center in Mexico.
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
backgroundCardiac tumors are rare entities within cardiovascular pathology. Most primary cardiac neoplasms are benign and originate from mesenchymal tissue. Epidemiological data from tertiary referral centers remain limited in Latin America.
objectiveThis study aims to describe the prevalence and histological distribution of cardiac neoplasms resected at the Hospital de Cardiología, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, between 2012 and 2024. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted. Medical records and histopathological reports of patients who underwent surgical resection of cardiac tumors between January 2012 and December 2024 were reviewed. Demographic characteristics, tumor location, and histological subtype were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsA total of 119 patients underwent surgical resection of cardiac tumors. The mean age at surgery was 56.7 ± 13.4 years, with a predominance of female patients (77.3%). The left atrium was the most frequent tumor location (84%). Histologically, cardiac myxoma was the most common neoplasm (92.4%), followed by papillary fibroelastoma (5.9%) and rhabdomyoma (0.8%). Only one malignant tumor (0.8%), corresponding to angiosarcoma, was identified.
conclusionsCardiac tumors remain rare entities, with a predominance of benign mesenchymal neoplasms. In this single-center series, cardiac myxoma was the most frequent tumor and predominantly affected middle-aged women, with the left atrium as the most common location.
