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

Background: Thromboembolic events are serious left ventricular thrombus (LVT) complications. Despite the limitations of vitamin K antagonist (VKA) drugs, it continues to be the recommended oral anticoagulation for LVT. Recently, nonvitamin K oral antagonist (NOAC) has gained popularity as an off-labeled treatment for systemic embolism prevention in LVT. Objective: In this study, we aim to compare the outcomes (stroke and bleeding) of warfarin versus NOAC therapy in patients with LVT. Methods: This retrospective cohort study compares NOAC and VKA therapy in LVT patients. We enrolled 201 patients with an echocardiography-confirmed LVT from January 2018 to December 2022. Patients who received NOAC therapy (NOAC, Results: The median follow-up time was 17 months (25 Conclusion: In patients with LVT, NOAC was as effective as VKA in stroke prevention without increasing the risk of major bleeding.
