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

Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a manifestation of prothrombotic status observed in patients with malignancy. Most cases are discovered only in the advanced stages. However, cancer in early stages may also induce NBTE development. We herein report an 87-year-old man with NBTE with multiple thromboembolization coexisting with lung cancer in early clinical stage. Autopsy findings revealed platelet- and fibrin-rich vegetations in both the tricuspid and mitral valves without evidence of bacterial infection. NBTE should be considered in cases with occult thromboembolization. Not only the presence of typical vegetation but irregular leaflet thickening should be monitored with careful echocardiographic examinations.
