Left ventricular intracardiac thrombus in a patient with Behçet disease successfully treated with immunosuppressive agents without anticoagulation: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Behçet disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem disorder with vasculitis underlying its systemic manifestations. Cardiac involvement and particularly left ventricular intracardiac thrombus are rarely diagnosed in the course of BD and are often associated with poor prognosis. The causes of intracardiac thrombi are unknown. It is plausible that specific proinflammatory pathways resulting in the endothelial cell injury and hypercoagulation contribute to the formation of thrombotic masses in the heart. Known thrombophilic factors such as methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutations, factor V Leiden mutation, proteins S and C, antithrombin III, activated protein C resistance, and antiphospholipid antibodies may contribute to the formation of intracardiac thrombi in BD. We report a case of a 24-year-old male patient with BD presented with left ventricular thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography allowed to describe and monitor such a rare cardiac manifestation of the disease. A combination of high-dose corticosteroid and azathioprine successfully dissolved intracardiac thrombus within ten days without anticoagulation.
