Acute Coronary Artery Thrombosis in a Patient With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

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
Patients with cancer are at major risk for both venous and arterial thrombotic complications. Venous involvement of cancer-associated thrombosis encompasses deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Arterial manifestations include mainly stroke and myocardial infarction. We present the case of a 59-year-old woman admitted to the hospital for chest pain of five hours duration. She had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer one month before. Electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in all leads except aVR, suggesting a myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed thrombi in both the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending coronary artery in the absence of any atherosclerotic lesions. Tirofiban infusion was administered; furthermore, a computed tomographic pulmonary angiography showed a distal pulmonary embolism. The patient progressed well and was discharged on anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonist. These findings highly imply that the malignancy altered the patient's blood coagulability and induced the formation of the thrombi ensuing acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism. We will emphasize the relationship between cancer and thrombosis with a special focus on the conservative management strategy with anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in acute coronary syndrome without evidence of atherosclerotic lesions.
