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

Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis in which intracardiac thrombus formation is a rare but potentially life-threatening manifestation, predominantly involving the right heart. We report the case of a 37-year-old male presenting with pulmonary embolism associated with extensive central venous thrombosis and a giant right atrial thrombus, leading to the diagnosis of Behçet's disease based on the 2014 International Criteria. Multimodality imaging using transthoracic echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a large heterogeneous right atrial thrombus and superior vena cava thrombosis. The patient was managed medically with a favorable evolution. Intracardiac thrombus should raise suspicion for Behçet's disease in young patients with atypical venous thrombosis, as early diagnosis and immunosuppressive therapy are crucial for favorable outcomes.
