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

We report a case of intracardiac cement embolism in a 24-year-old male patient as a rare postprocedural complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty. The patient was assessed 1 month after the procedure because of persistent tachycardia. Computed tomography scans showed an intracardiac mass in both the right atrium and right ventricle. After thorough multidisciplinary discussion, the patient was subsequently managed conservatively in conjunction with serial imaging and close surveillance.
