Usefulness of contrast computed tomography to detect left ventricular apical thrombus associated with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Left ventricular (LV) apical thrombus can rarely occur during the early phase of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We report such a case that was depicted clearly in contrast computed tomography (CT) but not in initial echocardiography. Because LV thrombus may lead to thromboembolic events, we should evaluate all patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy for the presence of a LV thrombus. LV thrombus is generally recognized with echocardiography in the course of follow-up, but limited depiction of the LV apex with echocardiography can make evaluation of LV thrombus difficult. Contrast CT is useful to detect LV apical thrombus associated with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
