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
introductionCardiac myxoma (CM) is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Multiple CMs are rare and can lead to heart failure and arterial embolism. This study aimed to explore clinical characteristics, surgical treatment experience, and follow-up strategies for multiple CMs.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on eight patients with multiple CMs who underwent surgical treatment. Clinical characteristics were analyzed by extracting relevant clinical data, electrocardiography and echocardiography findings, surgical treatment details, and postoperative follow-up information. All patients had undergone cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Pathological analysis was performed on all tumors, and postoperative cardiac ultrasound follow-up was also conducted.
resultsMultiple CMs were uncommon, representing only 5.9% of all cases. Among 136 patients with cardiac tumors admitted during the same period, only eight had multiple CMs. All patients with multiple CMs underwent complete tumor resection. The size of the resected tumors was approximately 5-80 (39.3 ± 20.3) mm. The follow-up period ranged from one to nine years. The recurrence rate was 37.5% (3/8), and all recurrent cases underwent reoperation for tumor resection. There were no perioperative deaths, and overall surgical outcomes were satisfactory.
conclusionOur study reveals that surgery is the best strategy for multiple CMs. The tumor should be completely resected, and color Doppler echocardiography is recommended every six months postoperatively to detect tumor recurrence. Those cases of multiple myxomas have had high recurrence rate after resection (37.5%) but were submitted successfully to a new resection. Timely surgical resection provides favorable outcomes for patients with multiple or recurrent CMs.
