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 woman, aged 52 years, experienced severe headache, confusion, nausea, dizziness, and diplopia for three days. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed multiple acute and subacute infarcts suggestive of embolic events. Dermatological examination was notable for splinter hemorrhages and macular patches on the fingernails and feet, respectively. Further diagnostic imaging of the chest and abdomen revealed pulmonary emboli and an ovarian mass with omental deposits and splenic infarcts. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and surgery confirmed a diagnosis of high-grade serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary with clear cell features. Extensive evaluation for malignancy should be considered on a case-by-case basis for patients with thromboembolic disease and an initial negative diagnostic evaluation for stroke. Consideration of patent foramen ovale closure is reasonable in patients with malignancy who are at risk for recurrent strokes.
