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

Sudden cardiac death due to an isolated right ventricular thromboembolism is an uncommon cause of death. In the reported case, a healthy, asymptomatic young male with no past medical history outside of obesity and his age was found unresponsive by a family member who suspected him to be sleeping. Examination of the heart at autopsy revealed a large serpiginous, organized and obstructive blood clot compromising most of the right ventricle with no other cardiac abnormalities and without any evidence of a pulmonary embolism. The patient was found to not have any history of substance abuse, genetic predispositions, kidney disease, or COVID-19 infection which has all been linked to ventricular thrombi.
