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
objectiveLeft ventricular thrombosis (LVT) is a common complication of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study attempted to synthesize the available evidence to understand the incidence and risk factors of LVT in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2001 to January 2022. The random-effects and fixed-effects model meta-analysis estimated pooled incidence, mean difference (MD), odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence interval (CI). The Review Manager 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis performance.
resultsThe results of meta-analysis showed that the incidence of LVT in acute STEMI treated by primary PCI was 4% (95% CI [0.03, 0.05]), and the overall pooled incidence in patients with anterior STEMI was 10.0% (95% CI [0.07, 0.12]). Anterior STEMI (OR = 11.93, 95% CI [6.25, 22.78], p = 0.0003), left anterior descending-related infarct (OR = 6.85, 95% CI [3.70, 12.66], p < 0.00001), left ventricular wall motion abnormalities (OR = 7.53, 95% CI [3.18, 17.82], p < 0.00001), and lower post-PCI LVEF (MD = 13.78, 95% CI [12.15, 15.41], p < 0.00001) were risk factors for post-PCI LVT.
conclusionThe incidence of LVT after acute STEMI in the PCI era remains high. This study provides a preliminary overview of STEMI patients at risk for post-PCI LVT and will help the design of prospective randomized controlled trials for the management and prevention of LVT.
