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

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition wherein the magnitude of the interatrial shunt changes between the sitting and supine positions. We diagnosed POS in a case initially considered to be of embolic stroke of undetermined source and performed emergency foramen ovale closure as definitive management for the patient. In this case, additional risk factors for POS include spinal deformity, meandering of the aorta, and exclusion of the right atrium due to overextension. Transcranial color flow imaging is recommended for the diagnosis of POS because of its sensitivity, specificity, and non-invasiveness. Although POS is an important barrier to effective rehabilitation, early diagnosis and definitive management lead to dramatic clinical improvement.
