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

Background: The clinical prognosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with mural thrombus in left ventricular aneurysm (MTLVA) remains poor; moreover, the risk factors associated with the non-resolution (persistent or recurrent) of MTLVA are not well understood. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for MTLVA non-resolution. Methods: A total of 133 STEMI patients (mean age 62 ± 11 years, 80.5% male) with MTLVA, admitted to our department between 2014 and 2022, were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were categorized into two groups: resolution (n = 59) and non-resolution [persistent (n = 72) or recurrent (n = 2) MTLVA; n = 74]. The median follow-up duration was 25 months, during which adverse events were monitored, including stroke, re-revascularization, major bleeding, systemic embolism, and cardiac death. Results: The prevalence of non-resolution was 55.6%. Non-resolution was significantly associated with elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels (>270 mg/L, hazard ratios (HR) 2.270, Conclusions: Independent risk factors for thrombus non-resolution in STEMI patients with MTLVA include elevated Lp(a), larger LVA and MT areas. These factors contribute to thrombus persistence and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, further studies are needed to assess targeted management strategies for high-risk patients.
