A Rare Presentation of Encapsulated Left Ventricular Thrombus.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Left ventricular thrombus formation is not an uncommon complication. There are a variety of reasons for this, for example, myocardial infarction, aneurysm formation and hypercoagulability. This usually has different fates; the most serious of which is propagation and embolization causing distal organ dysfunction. Thrombus formation appearance on echocardiography can sometimes give an idea of whether this is acute, subacute or chronic. In this article, we present a rare case in which large thrombi were noted on transthoracic echocardiography to be fully encapsulated within the left ventricle. It is unclear whether this phenomenon represents chronicity or whether this has consequential clinical impacts of significance. To our knowledge, this has only rarely been reported in the literature. We present an in-depth discussion of the presentation along with reported postulated mechanisms that might have a role in encapsulation per se.
