A classical case of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis from pancreatic adenocarcinoma presenting as multiple strokes, myocardial infarction and acute limb ischaemia.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) classically presents in the context of pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Echocardiography is useful to investigate for valvular vegetations, and institution of early treatment is crucial as this can be complicated by multiple systemic emboli, leading to significant morbidity or mortality in serious cases. Treatment options involve anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin, and the role of surgical intervention is unclear. In this report, we describe a classical case of a middle-aged lady with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma who developed NBTE complicated by multiple systemic emboli. She eventually succumbed from poor neurological status from multiple cerebral emboli. Awareness of this condition is required by clinicians for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
