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
backgroundAortic mural thrombi are rare causes of embolic stroke and pose therapeutic challenges, particularly in critically ill patients. CASE SUMMARY: A 47-year-old man presented with middle cerebral artery infarction. Imaging revealed a large, mobile mass in the aortic arch, suspected as the embolic source. Surgical removal was contraindicated owing to cerebral hemorrhage, and an endovascular approach was chosen. Using a cerebral protection device, dual snares, and a large-bore aspiration catheter, the thrombus was successfully removed without procedural complications. Histology confirmed an organized thrombus. Despite technical success, the patient died from complications of malignant stroke. DISCUSSION: This case highlights a unique endovascular strategy for removing an intra-aortic structure. The combined use of aspiration and snaring devices enables safe extraction, with cerebral protection minimizing embolic risk. This approach may serve as a valuable alternative to surgery in selected high-risk patients. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Minimally invasive removal of aortic thrombi is feasible and may reduce embolic risk in critically ill patients.
