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

Left atrial intramural hematoma (LAIH) is a rare complication related to various cardiac interventions, including cardiac surgery, catheter-based arrhythmia ablation, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), all of which may involve manipulation of the left atrium (LA). Here, we describe the challenging management of a patient who developed LAIH after PCI. A 72-year-old male patient was transferred to our hospital for the management of LAIH after PCI. Owing to cardiogenic shock, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was initiated. Repeat coronary angiography confirmed perforation of the left circumflex coronary artery; thus, coil embolization was performed. Subsequently, emergency surgical evacuation of the LA hematoma was performed to relieve the hemodynamic instability and impaired intracavitary flow. ECMO was weaned the day after surgery, and the patient made a full recovery. Even in critically ill patients, staged management with ECMO support should be considered to facilitate recovery.
