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

Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon but often lethal disease with non-specific manifestations. Herein, we present a case of an elderly woman with a past medical history significant for limited-stage pelvic myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), who was admitted with subacute weakness and worsening dyspnea. Over the course of hospitalization, CT angiography was performed, which demonstrated a filling defect in the inferior left pulmonary vein consistent with PVT, in addition to evidence of widespread metastatic disease. The patient was offered therapeutic anticoagulation, but given the extent of her metastasis, the patient opted to transition to comfort care and pursued hospice care. This case serves as a unique presentation of a rare disease process associated with widespread metastatic MFS, illustrating the need for early recognition and treatment.
