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

In this publication, we present a left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) case diagnosed with a cardiac CT scan of a 67-year-old woman with worsening hiccups, dyspnea, and chest pain. This is a rare cardiac condition with only 150 cases reported to date. LAAA can manifest as diastolic dysfunction, angina, hiccups, arrhythmias, dyspnea, and rare but potentially serious complications such as systemic embolism and rupture leading to death. Our findings highlight the importance of early surgical intervention, even in asymptomatic patients, to mitigate potential thromboembolic complications and address associated atrial arrhythmias.
