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

Paradoxical embolism (PDE) originates in the venous system and ends up in the arterial circulation via cardiac or pulmonary shunts. Cases of PDE from venous thrombosis resulting in acute myocardial infarctions (MIs) are seldom reported in the literature. Diagnoses can often be missed if further workups are not pursued in patients without any underlying risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we report a case of a paradoxical embolus that crossed the patent foramen ovale (PFO), causing ST-elevation MI (STEMI) from an embolized venous thrombus originating in the left distal posterior tibial vein.
