Conditional statements and commas

Hello, I'm confused. I see all kinds of rules about if-statements and commas. Which is correct?

1. Consider this my one pathetic attempt at an apology, if nothing else
2. Consider this my one pathetic attempt at an apology if nothing else

With or without a comma?

I see the phrase as an afterthought, so I would normally pause briefly before saying it. Hence, a comma. Clive
