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

The vein stump created after lung lobectomy has been reported to cause thrombus and subsequently cerebral infarction. However, its assessment after a long-term postoperative course remains unreported. The pulmonary vein stump is a structure near the left atrial appendage; therefore, such patients may be at a constant risk of thrombus formation. We herein report two cases of cerebral infarction associated with lung lobectomy. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed mobile thrombi in the pulmonary vein stump. Both patients had cancer recurrence, and hypercoagulability may have contributed to thrombus formation. This vein stump should be investigated as an embolic source, even after a long postoperative duration.
