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 an unusual case of simultaneous left and right atrial appendage thrombosis identified on contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography angiography (CT) during pre-procedural evaluation in a patient with permanent atrial fibrillation and structural heart disease. Cardiac CT demonstrated well-defined filling defects within both atrial appendages on arterial and delayed phases, consistent with intracavitary thrombi. The patient was already receiving long-term oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. In this case, antithrombotic management was not modified after multidisciplinary clinical assessment, as the patient remained asymptomatic and at high bleeding risk. This case highlights the diagnostic value of multiphasic cardiac CT in pre-procedural imaging, and underscores that systematic bilateral appendage assessment is essential, as right atrial appendage thrombus may otherwise go undetected.
