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

Pulmonary artery stump thrombosis (PAST) is a rare complication that forms after partial or complete resection of the lung. It involves the formation of a blood clot at the ligated end of the pulmonary artery, which forms due to stasis in the residual vessel. We report a case of PAST in an 83-year-old male lung cancer survivor, status post right middle and lower lobectomy in 2012, who presented with symptoms of generalized weakness and repeated falls. PCR tests were positive for rhinovirus and parainfluenza virus, and he was started on prednisone. A CT scan of the chest showed thrombosis at the ligated right pulmonary artery. The patient was administered a therapeutic dose of enoxaparin (Lovenox) and was discharged two days later. Despite presenting with certain risk factors, the patient was not discharged with anticoagulation medication.
