Analysis of risk factors for thrombosis of the left atrium/left atrial appendage in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesLeft atrial appendage (LAA) morphology is a powerful predictor of thrombogenesis of the left atrium (LA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, it remains unknown whether LAA morphology is useful for stroke risk stratification in patients with NVAF.
methodsA total of 555 atrial fibrillation patients were divided into thrombus and non-thrombus groups according to transoesophageal echocardiography. We analysed the correlation between LAA morphology and the CHADS
resultsThe odds ratio of non-chicken wing LAA morphology was 11.48. Non-chicken wing LAA morphology was significantly correlated with LA/LAA thrombosis. We incorporated LAA morphology into the CHADS
conclusionsNon-chicken wing LAA morphology was a powerful predictor of LA/LAA thrombosis in NVAF patients. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of the L
