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

The patient was a 68-year-old woman with a history of multiple cerebral emboli. The patient presented with dysarthria, dysphagia, and left facial paralysis. Emergent MRI demonstrated multiple emboli in the brain stem and left occipital lobe. Echocardiography and chest CT demonstrated floating emboli entrapped in the foramen ovale and pulmonary emboli in both main pulmonary arteries. Emergent pulmonary embolectomy and extraction of the emboli on the foramen ovale were successfully performed without neurological exacerbation.
