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

Bilateral renal infarction is an uncommon clinical condition that is frequently misdiagnosed. Its various mechanisms mainly include thrombotic and embolic. We report the case of a 51-year-old Moroccan woman, who presented with acute bilateral renal infarction three days following mitral valve replacement surgery of probable embolic origin despite curative heparin. Her renal function did not improve, and the patient developed chronic renal failure. Diagnosing bilateral renal infarction is challenging, especially in the postoperative period of mechanical mitral valve replacement surgery. Curative heparin therapy does not totally protect (100%) against this serious complication. This case study aimed to raise awareness of this rare clinical condition after cardiac surgery.
