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 case of an 85-year-old male on apixaban and clopidogrel undergoing pacemaker implantation is described. After procedure he developed unilateral tension hemothorax and required emergent drainage and exploratory thoracotomy. No vascular, cardiac, or pulmonary source was identified. After multidisciplinary discussions, it was speculated that spontaneous intercostal vessel rupture due to forceful coughing and elevated blood pressure during the procedure was the most likely cause of bleeding.
