Left ventricle pedunculated thrombi risks and outcomes: a case report and literature review.
Article in Jornal vascular brasileiro, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 42-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy presented with acute bilateral femoral artery embolization. After management with embolectomy and fasciotomy in both femoral arteries, transthoracic echocardiography revealed two pedunculated highly mobile left ventricle (LV) thrombi. Given the procedural risk, anticoagulation therapy was recommended over surgery. However, the bleeding risk impeded the continuation of anticoagulation, which increased the thrombus size. Multiorgan failure and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy followed and the patient died. We also systematically reviewed the PubMed and Scopus databases for pedunculated LV thrombi cases and retrieved 74 and 63 reports respectively. Of these, 37 relevant reports (45 cases) plus 11 reports from the manual search were included for data extraction, a total of 56 cases besides our case. Based on the etiologies and risks, LV thrombi are predictable and preventable, especially after ischemic events. A clear diagnostic algorithm and vigilant follow-up are needed as well as multidisciplinary management once a diagnosis is confirmed.
