Rheumatic Heart Disease with Multiple Systemic Emboli: A Rare Occurrence in a Single Subject.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Valvular heart disease is one of the more common diseases in low- and middle-income countries, when associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), carries a risk of multisystemic embolizations. We report a case of 37-year-old man with multiple systemic emboli consisting of acute ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and acute limb ischemia. This is a rare occurrence in a single subject. The patient had a background of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) involving severe mitral stenosis (MS) with AF, who was not compliant with his medications. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head showed right-sided ischemic stroke involving more than one-third of the middle cerebral artery territory. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed AF and ST-segment elevation in V4 to V6. Cardiac enzymes were elevated. A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated hypokinetic left ventricular anterolateral wall, severe MS, and a left atrial clot. An arterial Doppler of the right lower limb showed an occluding thrombus of the right common femoral artery and right popliteal artery with no flow in color Doppler. Patient adherence to medications in cases of RHD prevents devastating outcomes.
