Intracardiac Thrombus Formation and Bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms in a Patient With Behcet's Disease While on Regular Infliximab Infusion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vascular complications of Behcet'sdisease, including intracardiac thrombus formation, are one of the significant causes of mortality and morbidity in this population. Similar to other vasculitic disorders, Behcet's disease is primarily treated with immunosuppressants. While the benefit of adding anticoagulants in Behcet's disease with thromboembolism remains debatable, some literature encourages its use with concomitant intracardiac thrombus. Herewith, we present the case of a young male who was diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolism in addition to right ventricle intracardiac thrombus upon his scheduled dose of infliximab infusion. He was managed by adding azathioprine to his regimen together with oral prednisolone and warfarin with a target international normalized ratio of 2-3. This case report addresses the importance and outcome of early identification of Behcet's disease's vascular complications and immediate initiation of anticoagulation accordingly.
