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

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an embryogenic remnant that can be found in healthy adults with no repercussions. However, it poses a risk of paradoxical embolism. In patients with known embolic stroke, the risk of recurrence is greater. A PFO can be accompanied by morphological variants such as atrial septal aneurysms (ASA). These have been shown to further increase the risk of stroke and embolism. This is a case of a patient who presented to the emergency department with deep vein thrombosis and sub-massive pulmonary embolism. An echocardiogram showed a PFO with an ASA as an incidental finding. The defect was closed with a transcatheter PFO closure device due to a high risk of paradoxical embolism.
