A Cardiac Time Bomb: Stroke as the Initial Presentation of a Large Atrial Myxoma.
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
Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Atrial myxomas are one of the most frequent benign tumors of the heart. These tumors typically manifest as obstructive symptoms, including dyspnea and syncope. Constitutional symptoms, including fever, weight loss, and fatigue, are also common. Embolic phenomena are rare. Neurological manifestations primarily occur as ischemic infarction, whereas hemorrhagic transformation is infrequent. We present a young adult who experienced an ischemic stroke followed by hemorrhagic transformation, ultimately diagnosed with an atrial myxoma. During the patient's hospitalization, neurological improvement was noted while he received antiplatelet and statin therapy. The definitive treatment, consisting of surgical excision, was performed in this patient, followed by echocardiographic surveillance to monitor for recurrence.
