Acute Ischemic Stroke and Rapid Resolution of a Large Left Ventricular Thrombus With Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present the case of a 62-year-old male who presented with an acute ischemic stroke and was subsequently diagnosed with a large mobile left ventricular (LV) thrombus. Although surgical intervention was initially considered, the cardiothoracic team opted for conservative management. The patient was managed conservatively with aspirin and later therapeutic low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) due to the LV thrombus. Notably, follow-up echocardiography after two weeks revealed complete resolution of the LV thrombus, an outcome that highlights the efficacy of LMWH and the potential for rapid resolution without surgical intervention. The patient experienced further complications, including a new cerebellar infarct and venous thromboembolism, prompting investigation for underlying hypercoagulable states such as lupus antibodies. This case underscores the critical importance of early investigation for secondary causes of ischemic stroke and demonstrates the significant therapeutic potential of LMWH in achieving rapid LV thrombus resolution, thereby preventing the need for more invasive procedures.
