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

An elderly man with a recent diagnosis of invasive rectal adenocarcinoma was admitted to the hospital because of a lower gastrointestinal bleeding and low haemoglobin. During the hospitalisation he complained of chest pain. ECG showed new onset ST-segment elevation in leads III, aVF and in the precordial leads V1-V4. Shortly thereafter, he became hypotensive and coded. Despite resuscitation he passed away. Autopsy revealed massive pulmonary emboli with near complete obstruction of the involved branches of the pulmonary arteries. Coronary arteries were free of significant coronary artery disease and multiple sections of the myocardium showed the absence of myocardial infarction.
