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 67-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain with a recent diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated a filling defect concerning for an aortic thrombus. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) confirmed a mobile thrombus in the proximal abdominal aorta in close proximity to several major arterial branches, leading to urgent surgical consultation due to a concern for mesenteric and end-organ ischemia. POCUS played a role in determining patient management in this novel case, and the patient was anticoagulated and ultimately discharged from the hospital.
