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

backgroundDespite the high prevalence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) complicated by acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the optimal anticoagulant remains controversial. CASE SUMMARY: An 84-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation developed an LVT and a left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) 2 months after AMI during suboptimal warfarin therapy. The optimization of warfarin resulted in the resolution of both thrombi, and apixaban was introduced as a safer prophylaxis. While LAAT was successfully suppressed, LVT recurred within a few days. Resuming warfarin resolved the LVT. DISCUSSION: We experienced an interesting case of simultaneous LVT and LAAT formation after AMI in which apixaban showed discordant antithrombotic effects. This suggests that the characteristics of both thrombi may differ, and the optimal anticoagulation for LVT may vary on a case-by-case basis. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: A one-size-fits-all approach in treating LVT may need to be reconsidered, and anticoagulation therapy should be tailored based on its efficacy.
