Transaortic Extraction of Left Ventricular Thrombus.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundLeft ventricular thrombi may complicate acute myocardial infarction, and anticoagulation is the mainstay of management. Surgical thrombectomy may be considered in some patients with a perceived high risk for thromboembolism if there is another indication for urgent cardiac surgery. CASE SUMMARY: A 43-year-old diabetic man presented with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and an acute left ventricular thrombus. He had a transaortic thrombectomy and coronary artery bypass graft. DISCUSSION: The usual approach for surgical thrombectomy is left ventriculotomy. This however may cause deterioration of left ventricular function. A left atrial approach has also been described but access may be challenging. A video-assisted transaortic left ventriculoscopy combines excellent visualization provided by the endoscope and avoidance of a left ventriculotomy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Surgical thrombectomy may be beneficial in a select group of patients with acute left ventricular thrombus. A video-assisted transaortic approach provides excellent access and visualization in these patients.
