Left ventricular thrombus complicated by acute limb ischemia in a patient with HIV.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Left ventricular thrombus typically occurs in patients with impaired left ventricular function such as aneurysm, dilated cardiomyopathy, or post-myocardial infarction. Untreated HIV infection is known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease. However, the pathophysiology remains uncertain; some studies have proposed chronic inflammation as the underlying etiology. Nonetheless, left ventricular thrombus is extremely rare among persons living with HIV with no known underlying cardiac disease. Herein, we report an unusual case of a 55-year-old homeless and heterosexual male with past medical history of HIV, who has mildly reduced left ventricular function and a nonmobile, medium size left ventricular thrombus. Patient was initially treated with therapeutic dose of enoxaparin, and subsequently developed acute embolic occlusion of right femoral artery that lead to an above knee amputation
