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

We report a rare case of primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) in a 43-year-old man presenting as recurrent acute coronary stent thrombosis and complicated by three myocardial infarctions. As illustrated in this report, in APS patients recurrent life-threatening arterial thrombotic events may occur in spite of recommended anticoagulant therapy. We conclude that the APS should be considered as a potential cause of acute coronary syndrome, particularly in young individuals with a history of recurrent thrombotic events and/or with abnormal coagulation test results. Further studies are needed to determine the best therapeutic strategy for APS patients with acute coronary syndrome.
