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

backgroundEmbolic events play an important role in clinical everyday practice. Malignant arterial embolism is a rare nevertheless often fatal entity for cardiac, cerebral or systemic ischemia, requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment. CASE: This is a case report of a 65 years-old female, suffering from pulmonal adenocarcinoma, who was hospitalized due to neurological deficits caused by an acute ischemic stroke, followed by anterior myocardial infarction within 3 days. Diagnostic work-up revealed metastasis of the pulmonal adenocarcinoma in the right atrium and a patent foramen ovale. Histopathological examination of the coronary embolus verified paradoxical arterial embolism of the pulmonal adenocarcinoma into a coronary vessel and consequently cerebral arteries.

conclusionThe present case underlines the need for (i), consideration of malignant embolism, (ii) histopathological examination of the embolus to determine its etiology, and (iii) interdisciplinary discussion of individual therapeutic and prevention strategies in cancer patients with cerebral, cardiac or systemic embolic events.
