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

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare clinical entity characterized by the onset of dyspnea and hypoxemia that normally manifests in the upright position, improving with recumbency. POS is generally caused by both anatomical and functional defects that lead to a right-to-left shunt. Herein, we present an illustrative case of POS in an elderly patient admitted for severe hypoxemia, in which a massive right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale facilitated by an anatomic disturbance was found. Percutaneous closure of the defect was performed, thus correcting the POS.
