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

objectiveTo highlight the usefulness of apixaban on intra-atrial thrombus that develops after previous treatment with warfarin. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND

interventionA 69-year-old woman with a history of atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin presented with acute decompensated heart failure due to an episode of atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed the presence of an intra-atrial thrombus. She was treated with apixaban, and transesophageal echocardiogram showed complete resolution of the thrombus after 3 weeks of treatment.

conclusionThis case highlights the usefulness of apixaban in the management of atrial fibrillation and proven intra-atrial thrombus.
