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

When diagnosing cardiac tumors, it is important to consider factors such as the patient's age, tumor location, radiologic features, differentiation between benign and malignant tumors and to provide the surgeon with appropriate information. In this report, we present a case of two cardiac masses originating in the left atrium that were diagnosed as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas through surgical resection. Imaging studies showed two masses attached to the posterior wall of the left atrium and mitral valve; hemorrhagic changes were suspected in these masses. Irregular thickening of the mitral valve suggests tumor invasion; however, the possibility of a mural thrombus should be excluded. Multiplicity, large size, and irregular mitral valve thickening suggest a malignancy. However, given the much higher incidence of myxomas, well-defined margins, and the fact that hemorrhagic changes can occur in large myxomas, the possibility of a benign tumor cannot be ruled out.
