New experimental animal model of intracardiac thrombus created with epicardial echocardiographic guidance.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundModels of intracardiac thrombus are very difficult to establish and have rarely been reported. We designed and established a new, inexpensive, practical animal model for intracardiac thrombus created with epicardial echocardiographic guidance.
methodsMale New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2 to 3.9 kg (3.10±0.58 kg) were used in this study. Cylindrical thrombi were created in plastic tubing and then aspirated with saline into a syringe. The thrombus in saline suspension was then slowly injected into a heart chamber and confirmed with echocardiography, including two-dimensional and contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
resultsIntracardiac thrombi were created successfully in the left ventricle, right ventricle, and left and right atrial appendages. The average preparation time was about 3 hours. There were no significant differences among the four heart chambers in the success rate of thrombus model creation. Thrombi embolized to the pulmonary artery after failure of the right heart model. After failure of the left heart model, emboli were found in the carotid artery, renal artery, and truncus coeliacus. In two cases thrombi extended from the left ventricular apex into the aorta and in one case the thrombus extended from the left atrial appendage to the left atrium; there was no such extension from the other chambers. The rabbits' vital signs remained stable after establishment of the model, with no significant changes in heart structure or function.
conclusionsThis new method of creating an intracardiac thrombus model in rabbits showed initial success.
