Clinical outcomes and thrombus resolution in patients with solid left atrial appendage thrombi: results of a single-center real-world registry.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundData on thrombus resolution and clinical outcome data after a therapy of LAA thrombus with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are scarce.
methodsIn this single-center study, we retrospectively analyzed 78 patients diagnosed with a solid LAA thrombus by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We assessed baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics, the anticoagulatory regimens and outcomes of patients with (responders) and without (non-responders) thrombus resolution.
resultsMean age was 76.1 ± 8.3 years, patients were male in 57.7% and presented with a high risk for thromboembolism (CHA
conclusionsIn this registry, approximately 85% of LAA thrombi were diagnosed in patients with ongoing OAC. Thrombus resolution was observed in nearly 50% of cases. Although there was no difference in the rate of LAA thrombus resolution between VKA and NOACs, the resolution time was shorter in patients prescribed a NOAC.
