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

Left ventricular thrombus is a major complication following myocardial infarction, particularly in patients with anterior myocardial infarction or dilated cardiomyopathies regardless of coronary reperfusion therapy. Embolization of mural thrombus is one of the major causes of large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke. A combination therapy of antiplatelet (single or dual antiplatelet) and anticoagulant is mandatory in the management of myocardial infarction and left ventricular thrombus with or without stroke. To our knowledge, there are no guidelines on the optimal regimen (dual or triple therapies) and timing of administration in cases of cardio-cerebral infarction. It is difficult for clinicians to balance the risks of intracranial hemorrhage and coronary stent thrombosis. Here, we describe the case of a gentleman who had recently undergone coronary intervention and presented with ischemic stroke and left ventricular thrombus, along with the management challenges in this scenario.
