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

Since the emergence of revascularisation for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), the incidence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) has been declining. However, despite this, it is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. The mainstay of treatment is vitamin K antagonists, although non-vitamin K antagonists have been shown to be effective. Imaging plays an important role in the surveillance of LVT subsequent to MI. Herein, we emphasise the utility of multimodality imaging of a case of anterior MI complicated by a large LVT, and detail its management.
