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

A case of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in a 39-year-old male who presented with progressive dyspnea and left lower limb pain. Imaging studies confirmed extensive pulmonary and deep venous thrombosis. A hypercoagulability workup revealed primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) with positive lupus anticoagulant and beta-2 glycoprotein antibodies, along with a compound heterozygous methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation and hyperhomocysteinemia. This case highlights the significant thrombotic risk posed by the co-occurrence of APS and the compound heterozygous MTHFR mutation. Early identification of such overlapping thrombophilic conditions is crucial for prompt management and effective secondary prevention.
