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

A 57-year-old non-obese female patient with a history of heavy smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension was admitted to the hospital as an emergency for acute hemoptysis and signs of congestive heart failure. To assess the source of hemoptysis, computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography was performed, which confirmed a bilateral pulmonary embolism of the apical branches. The routinely performed transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed an enlarged left ventricle with severely reduced ejection fraction (EF = 25%) due to global hypokinesia and multiple, mobile, echogenic masses. To increase the diagnostic accuracy, real-time three-dimensional (Live 3D) imaging of the masses was added which described multiple left ventricular (LV) thrombi. Successful resolution of intraventricular thrombi was noticed after treatment with oral anticoagulant therapy (acenocumarol), despite the lack of regular INR control.
