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

A 63-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was examined using cardiac computed tomography (CT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to estimate the presence of chronic thrombi, such as left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi and pulmonary vein thrombi (PVTs). The patient presented with a strange thrombus-containing vessel over the anterior surface of the heart, which did not appear to be a coronary vein. The abnormal wall of the ascending aorta (AAo) was difficult to differentiate from the AAo thrombi, and a dark (low echogenic) mass was observed in the center of the abnormal AAo wall on TEE. The origin of the mass was unknown but could potentially be associated with atherosclerosis, a Valsalva aneurysm, aortic dissection, an aortic aneurysm, or aortic valve disease. The relationship between these factors and the coronary artery, as well as whether apixaban (a factor Xa inhibitor) could cure the cleft in the mass, remains unclear.
