Early surgical outcomes of cardiac myxoma resection according to dominant clinical phenotype in adult patients.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the early surgical outcomes according to the dominant clinical presentation in adult patients undergoing cardiac myxoma resection.
methodsA total of 315 patients who underwent cardiac mass resection procedures in a single center were retrospectively analyzed. After the exclusion criteria were applied, 133 consecutive adult patients who underwent surgical resection of histopathologically confirmed cardiac myxoma between January 2004 and December 2024 in a single center. Patients were categorized into four groups according to their dominant clinical presentation at diagnosis: asymptomatic, cardiac/obstructive, embolic, and constitutional. Baseline characteristics, tumor features, operative variables, and early post-operative outcomes were compared among the groups.
resultsThe median age was 63 years, and 63.9% of patients were female. Cardiac/obstructive symptoms represented the most frequent dominant presentation (47.4%). Major early post-operative outcomes were comparable among groups, whereas post-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) and intensive care unit/hospital stay were significantly higher in the cardiac/obstructive group.
conclusionDominant clinical presentation was not associated with differences in major early post-operative outcomes following cardiac myxoma resection. Cardiac/obstructive presentation was associated with more post-operative AF and longer recovery.
