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

We present a woman in her 60s diagnosed with an intermediate-high risk acute pulmonary embolism and a large, non-serpiginous right atrial (RA) mass. Conservative therapy with unfractionated heparin was started and further assessment of the mass with cardiac MRI suggested thrombus as the most likely diagnosis. Despite 1 month of anticoagulation, mass size remained stable and surgical RA embolectomy and left pulmonary endarterectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed thrombus. The patient died 10 weeks after surgery.
