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 incidence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT), a significant complication postacute myocardial infarction (AMI), has seen a decline in the percutaneous coronary intervention era. Patients may not undergo coronary revascularization due to medical contraindications or patient preference. Objectives: This study compared post-AMI LVT patients treated with or without revascularization. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 263 consecutive post-AMI patients diagnosed with LVT from November 2012 to January 2021, retrieved from an echocardiography database. Patients were stratified by their revascularization status. Results: Mean (SD) follow-up duration was 2.1 ± 2.1 years. Most post-AMI LVT patients underwent revascularization via percutaneous coronary intervention (71.5%; Conclusion: Lack of revascularization in post-AMI LVT patients was associated with higher mortality but not LVT resolution. Optimizing medical therapy remains a key treatment goal.
