Imaging findings of acute intravascular thrombus on non-enhanced computed tomography.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Intravascular thrombosis and thromboembolism are critical diagnoses which are frequently made on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) or Doppler ultrasound. For a variety of reasons, some patients with acute intravascular pathology are imaged using CT without intravenous contrast. In the acute setting, the increased Hounsfield unit (HU) density of the thrombus compared to the blood pool allows the diagnosis to be made, or at least suggested, on non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT). The increased density of the clot is commonly referred to as the "hyperdense vessel sign." This is a well-known finding in the setting of stroke, but hyperdense vessels can also signal arterial or venous thrombosis in the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Once a hyperdense vessel sign is noted on NECT, further exploration with CECT, angiography, or ultrasound may then be performed. Here, we present a pictorial review of the appearance of acute intravascular thrombosis as seen on non-enhanced computed tomography.
