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

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital heart anomaly with persistent non-closure of the atrial septum that generally closes six to 12 months after birth in the majority of adults. While remaining asymptomatic in the majority of cases, PFO could lead to paradoxical embolism and cryptogenic strokes in most symptomatic cases. The incidence of small arterial occlusion due to paradoxical emboli is quite uncommon. In this report, we present a case of a 51-year-old man who presented with acute left-sided painless visual loss due to central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Stroke work-up and hypercoagulability evaluations were negative. The patient was found to have PFO with the initial presentation as CRAO, a rather rare presentation in the setting of PFO. In this report also, we discuss the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and the current evidence-based therapeutic options in the management of PFO in adults, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnostic entity in the setting of acute visual loss, as with our case presentation.
