Recurrent Left Ventricular Thrombus After Reverse Remodeling in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Insights From 4D Flow MRI.

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
backgroundApical left ventricular thrombus in ischemic cardiomyopathy may recur even after reverse remodeling and apparent improvement in cardiac function. CASE SUMMARY: We describe the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with exertional dyspnea. Evaluation revealed triple-vessel coronary artery disease, a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%, and an apical thrombus. Treatment with guideline-directed medical therapy, warfarin, and percutaneous coronary intervention led to thrombus resolution and improved systolic function, with the ejection fraction increasing to 40%. However, 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging at 4-year follow-up demonstrated diminished diastolic vortex localized to the basal left ventricle, indicating reduced apical flow velocity. Despite improved systolic function, apical thrombus recurred. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates that structural and functional recovery does not eliminate thrombotic risk. Persistent apical flow abnormalities may create a prothrombotic environment, highlighting the importance of longitudinal flow assessment with advanced imaging such as 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging, particularly in patients with a prior thrombus.
