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

A 40-year-old man with progressively worsening dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. On physical examination, pulse oximetry results demonstrated 80% oxygen saturation in room air. The lungs sounded clear, and both extremities appeared normal, without pitting edema. His echocardiography revealed a pressure overload in the right ventricle. Suspecting the presence of pulmonary thromboembolism, we performed an enhanced computed tomography (CT). CT results revealed systemic venous thromboembolism (VTE) involving the superior mesenteric vein, inferior vena cava (IVC), right common iliac vein and pulmonary arteries, as well as splenomegaly and edema of the small intestine with ascites. After insertion of a retrievable IVC filter, we prescribed 10 mg of apixaban twice daily for the first 7 days, followed by 5 mg twice daily as long-term therapy. Confirming no exacerbation of the VTE symptoms, we removed the IVC filter 14 days after admission. Additionally, hereditary antithrombin deficiency was unraveled as the etiology of systemic VTE. Although an enhanced CT at 6 months follow-up showed that almost all previous VTE had dissolved, we decided to prescribe apixaban indefinitely. Fortunately, he has not experienced a recurrence of VTE or any bleeding events to date. <
