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

A 48-year-old man visited our emergency room after experiencing sudden left back pain, diaphoresis, and nausea. The patient underwent physical and laboratory examinations. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the left costovertebral angle. Laboratory examination revealed a slight elevation in D-dimer levels. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a bilateral pulmonary embolism and left renal infarction. Back pain was resolved following anticoagulation therapy with heparin. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient was discharged on an anticoagulant, apixaban. Identifying the cause of paradoxical embolisms, such as an atrial septal defect or PFO, in cases with an arterial embolism in a young patient with no underlying disease is important.
