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 ventricular thrombus (LVT) in ischemic heart failure carries embolic risk; tools to anticipate persistence are limited. We studied 190 consecutive patients with imaging-confirmed LVT managed with guideline-concordant anticoagulation and serial echocardiography. The primary outcome was 6-month non-regression; 1-year MACE was secondary. We combined classical statistics with explainable machine learning. CatBoost yielded the best discrimination for non-regression (CV-AUC 0.76; test accuracy 0.79). SHAP highlighted left atrial diameter, pulmonary artery pressure, platelet count, and LV end-diastolic diameter as leading predictors. For 1-year outcomes, thrombus size and CHA2DS2-VA were independently associated with MACE (logistic AUC 0.71), whereas "regression vs persistence" alone was not. Baseline remodeling and coagulability markers, captured by an interpretable ML model, stratify early risk of LVT persistence and complement clinical decision-making for imaging follow-up and anticoagulation intensity.
