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 66-year-old Caucasian man was initially admitted with a metastatic small cell lung carcinoma, hyponatraemia and obstructive pneumonia. His transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was normal. Ten days after admission, he was diagnosed with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). Both a repeated TTE and a transoesophageal echocardiogram identified thickened, myxomatous mitral valve leaflet tips with small, mobile masses identified as vegetations, and new, eccentric, severe mitral regurgitation. Subsequent cardiac catheterisation recorded thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery. Successful coronary thrombectomy was carried out, but the patient died. A diagnosis of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis leading to coronary embolisation and MI was made. The clinical course and treatment choices are discussed.
