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

BackgroundProsthetic heart valve thrombosis (PHVT) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication that affects patients with mechanical heart valves. Timely and precise prediction of PHVT is essential for prompt intervention. This study aims to assess the association between the ratio of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and platelet (PLT) count with PHVT.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 297 transesophageal echocardiography examinations performed between January 2007 and October 2022 on patients with mechanical mitral prosthetic valves. This cohort included 161 patients diagnosed with PHVT and 136 patients with functional prosthetic valves.ResultsPatients with PHVT were, on average, older than those with normofunctional valves (56 vs 53 years,
