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 condition characterized by dyspnea and hypoxemia during orthostatism, with relief in the supine position. The diagnosis of POS requires a high clinical suspicion, and its etiology stems from the admixture of venous blood, poor in oxygen, with arterial blood via a shunt. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most commonly encountered anomaly at the root of POS.  Here, we present the case of a 67-year-old female patient where suspected POS led to the diagnosis of a PFO, which was the cause of an ischemic stroke.
