Endomyocardial Fibrosis With Bilateral Ventricular Thrombus: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare restrictive cardiomyopathy in non-tropical areas. It is seen in most of the patients living in or coming from tropical areas, and is rarely seen in patients who have never visited these areas. It is characterized by fibrotic thickening of the endocardium, predominantly affecting the ventricular apices and inflow tracts. Although thrombus formation is a known complication in various cardiac conditions such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular heart disease, and patent foramen ovale, the occurrence of bilateral thrombus in EMF is exceptionally rare. We present a case report describing a unique finding of bilateral ventricular thrombus in a patient diagnosed with EMF, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management challenges associated with this rare phenomenon.
