Left Ventricular Thrombus in Myocardial Infarction After Successful Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Prevalence and Predictors-A Middle Eastern Single-Centre Experience.
Article in CJC open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundLeft ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a well-recognized complication of myocardial infarction that affects patient outcomes and warrants screening.
methodsThis retrospective study included 308 consecutive patients who presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and were treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
resultsEarly screening for LVT by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance revealed the following: LVT (+) group (36 patients [11.7%]) and LVT (-) group (272 patients [88.3%]). The 2 powerful independent variables associated with LVT formation were left anterior descending-related infarct (odds ratio, 10.17;
conclusionEarly LVT formation is a frequent complication in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction despite timely intervention. Its independent predictors are left anterior descending-related infarct and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, there was no significant difference between lesion-only culprits and complete revascularization in reducing the risk of LVT development. Further studies in larger numbers of patients are needed because of the uncertainties regarding the links between the biological effects of the environment and the risk of LVT formation.
