Cocaine-Induced Ascending Aortic Thrombus.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aortic thrombosis without coexisting atherosclerosis is uncommon. Sometimes, aneurysms or dissections can predispose to thrombus in the abdominal or thoracic aorta. However, ascending aortic thrombus in a non-aneurysmal, non-atherosclerotic aorta is a rare occurrence. Although arterial thrombosis has been linked with its use, cocaine-associated thrombus of the ascending aorta has been rarely described. We report a young man with regular use of cocaine presenting with constant, burning, left-sided chest pain. He was found to have a large thrombus in a structurally normal ascending aorta. Medical management with therapeutic anticoagulation was started. Despite an interruption of anticoagulation treatment for two months due to non-compliance, the man survived. This unique case highlights the importance of various vascular complications associated with cocaine use, their early recognition, and their treatment.
