Direct oral anticoagulant therapy as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of a patient with a floating thrombus in the ascending aorta and pulmonary embolism.

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
A floating thrombus in the ascending aorta was incidentally discovered in a patient with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm and a history of alcoholism. The patient developed deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, he refused to undergo surgical excision of the thrombus in the ascending aorta. Therefore, treatment with rivaroxaban was administered for 3 months, and it completely dissolved the thrombus. Anticoagulant therapy may be an alternative treatment when surgery cannot be performed.
