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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events; however, many patients with AF are noncompliant with medication regimens, which increases said risk substantially. Suboptimal health literacy presents significant hurdles to compliance with medical treatment. Here we present a case of an elderly Hispanic woman with AF and several comorbidities, including a history of dementia, who presented with consecutive recurrence of acute limb ischemia in the bilateral lower extremities just 3 days apart. Both events were successfully treated with endovascular thrombectomy. This case study not only showcases the efficacy of the latest endovascular technologies, but also draws attention to the importance of strict patient medication adherence in AF and the effects that health literacy can have on said adherence.
