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 right atrial thrombus is an unusual source of imminent massive saddle pulmonary embolism (PE) . A hypercoagulable state secondary to gastric cancer (GC) can result in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with a resultant right-sided heart thrombus in transit. Here, we present a case of a young male patient from Honduras with DVT and multiple venous thrombi extending from the external iliac veins to the suprahepatic left vein, inferior vena cava, and right atrium of the heart, secondary to a hypercoagulable state from GC, adenocarcinoma type. We describe the approach of treating a right heart intracavitary thrombus with imminent risk for saddle PE and sudden cardiac death with thrombolysis through a central venous catheter (CVC) in a resource-limited setting.
