Paradoxical embolism: A case of thromboembolic stroke secondary to pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.

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
Paradoxical embolism refers to thromboemboli originating from the venous system or right heart that traverse an intracardiac or pulmonary shunt into the systemic circulation, causing end-organ embolization. It is hypothesized to occur when the right atrial pressure exceeds the left atrial pressure. To date, patent foramen ovale is the most common intracardiac shunt associated with paradoxical embolism. During acute pulmonary embolism, acutely elevated right atrial pressure can reopen a functionally closed patent foramen ovale, facilitating paradoxical embolism into the systemic circulation. The cerebrum is the most frequently affected organ, resulting in neurological deficits, followed by peripheral arterial occlusion and mesenteric embolism; myocardial infarction is rarely reported. Herein, we describe the diagnosis and management of a patient in her early 60s who presented with acute cerebral embolism caused by paradoxical embolism complicating acute pulmonary embolism.
