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 73-year-old man with dementia was referred to our clinic with hypernatremia and volume depletion. New-onset neurogenic dysphagia was likely the reason for both. The patient had chronic embolic strokes on the computed tomography (CT) images. Documentation from previous hospitalizations in different hospitals revealed a repeatedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT); 5 years prior, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome had already been suspected, but the necessary workup was never completed. We diagnosed the patient with primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and initiated therapy with vitamin K antagonists (phenprocoumon) and aspirin.
