A 52-Year-Old Man With Chest Pain and Dyspnea.

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
case presentationA 52-year-old man came to the cardiac surgery clinic for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) evaluation. He had initially appeared at an outside hospital 1 year earlier, with chest pain and shortness of breath. He had no known chronic conditions. A CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) at that time showed a filling defect at the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed mild mitral valve regurgitation, but otherwise the results were normal. As he was hemodynamically stable and not hypoxemic, he was treated solely by anticoagulation. Despite adhering to prescribed apixaban, he developed progressive dyspnea and reduced exercise tolerance over the subsequent year. A repeat CTPA performed 12 months after the initial presentation showed a persistent filling defect at the level of the pulmonary artery bifurcation, with a new extension now completely occluding the right main pulmonary artery. A pulmonary angiogram confirmed this complete occlusion, and right heart catheterization revealed precapillary pulmonary hypertension, with a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 50 mm Hg. His anticoagulation was transitioned to enoxaparin for presumed apixaban treatment failure, and an investigation for hypercoagulable conditions was initiated. His lupus anticoagulant test result was positive, but he did not meet the criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome because he was negative for anticardiolipin and β
