Risk factors for intracardiac thrombus in peripartum cardiomyopathy: a retrospective study in China.
Trial report in ESC heart failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimsPeripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) are more vulnerable to intracardiac thrombus than other types of cardiomyopathies, although explicit anticoagulant strategy is not sure. Too aggressive anticoagulation therapy can lead to severe bleeding events. Hence, we want to construct a risk stratification model for intracardiac thrombus in PPCM patients. METHODS AND
resultsA total of 159 suspected PPCM cases were initially screened, whereas 123 confirmed cases were enrolled in the final analysis. The study population was randomly assigned as derivation group (N = 83) and validation group (N = 40). The derivation cohort was utilized to develop the model, and the validation cohort was used to internal validate the discriminatory ability of the model. Formation of intracardiac thrombus was detected in 22 patients. After adjusted by multivariable logistic regression analysis, left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF, OR 0.772, 95% CI 0.665-0.897, P = 0.001), haemoglobin levels (OR 1.050, 95% CI 1.003-1.099, P = 0.038), and thrombocyte counts (OR 1.018, 95% CI 1.006-1.029, P = 0.003) were identified as risk factors independently associated with intracardiac thrombus and were finally included in the tentative risk stratification model with a C-indexes of 0.916 (95% CI: 0.850-0.982, P < 0.001). A score of ≤7 was regarded as low risk, 8-10 defined intermediate risk, and ≥11 defined high risk in our model. Internal validation showed good discriminatory ability of the model with a C-indexes of 0.790 (95% CI: 0.644-0.936, P = 0.017).
conclusionsIn our retrospective study, impaired LVEF, elevated haemoglobin levels, and high thrombocyte counts were regarded as independent risk factors for intracardiac thrombus in PPCM. A risk stratification model derived from these risk factors, which was economic and easily applicable in clinical practice, could rapidly and accurately identify PPCM patients with higher-risk of intracardiac thrombus.
