Surgical management of a PICC-associated right atrial thrombus: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
A patient who had undergone surgery for breast cancer received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for chemotherapy. Three months later, she developed chest tightness and dyspnoea. Transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography revealed a right atrial mass, with the tip of the PICC positioned within the right atrium. After 1 month of anticoagulation with rivaroxaban, the right atrial lesion showed no appreciable reduction in size, and the patient ultimately underwent surgical treatment. Intraoperatively, the mass was found to be closely adherent to the right atrial wall and not connected to the PICC. Histopathological examination demonstrated a mixed thrombus, predominantly composed of fibrinoid material.
