Left atrial myxoma as an unusual cause of mechanical mitral prosthesis obstruction: a case report and literature review.
Review 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
This case study reports on a 43-year-old man with a history of mitral and aortic valve replacements, who presented with worsening dyspnea, palpitations, chest pain, and vertigo. Despite stable vital signs and fluoroscopy, imaging revealed large, mobile masses near the mitral valve, likely indicating left atrial myxomas causing mechanical obstruction. Urgent CT scans ruled out embolism, and surgical intervention was performed, revealing two sizable tumoral masses attached to the left atrium. Preoperative coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex cardiac conditions, particularly in patients with previous valve replacements.
