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

We report a rare case of biventricular thrombus presenting as cardiogenic shock with decompensated heart failure and abdominal pain in a previously healthy individual. Diagnosis was expedited using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), which revealed right heart strain, biventricular thrombi, and features of volume overload. The patient was managed conservatively with anticoagulation, diuretics, and supportive care and eventually transitioned to long-term oral anticoagulation. This case highlights the diagnostic value of bedside ultrasound (POCUS) in first-contact acute care and the current lack of clear guidance for managing decompensated heart failure with simultaneous left and right ventricular thrombi.
