Segmental renal artery and popliteal artery embolism in an adult patient with rheumatic heart disease and atrial fibrillation: A case report.

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
introductionRenal artery embolism is uncommon cause of flank or back pain. Of all embolic episodes in patients with atrial fibrillation, 2-4% are renal artery embolism. Early thrombolysis within 90 min has favorable renal outcome. Long term anticoagulation can prevent recurrent embolic episodes. Two different embolic phenomenon within short span in same patient is not described in literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe fifty-year-old female with rheumatic heart disease with atrial fibrillation presented as renal segmental artery emboli with popliteal artery emboli within seven-day interval. DISCUSSION: Embolic phenomenon is well known in atrial fibrillation. High index of suspicion in patient with risk factors of thromboembolism with appropriate use of contrast enhanced computed tomography can help early diagnosis. Renal artery embolism is managed with anticoagulation or thrombolysis based on duration of presentation. Peripheral artery embolism can be diagnosed with Doppler ultrasonography. Thrombus can be removed with endovascular procedure or open surgical technique. Holistic patient management includes cardiac workup and treatment of factors predisposing to embolization.
conclusionEarly identification and urgent treatment is key to the management of embolic episode in patient with atrial fibrillation. Long term prophylaxis can prevent further episodes.
