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

Bi-atrial thrombi with bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE) through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is rare and life-threatening, requiring urgent management due to embolization risk. We present a 53-year-old female with left lower extremity extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT), bilateral PE, and bi-atrial thrombi straddling a PFO. She underwent thrombectomy, PFO closure, and pulmonary embolectomy but later experienced recurrent DVT and PE. Anticoagulation was limited due to bleeding risk given a recent neurosurgery. Literature lacks clear guidelines for managing such cases necessitating individualized treatment. This case highlights the complexity of bi-atrial thrombi with PFO and the need for further research to optimize management strategies.
