Lymphedema secondary to idiopathic occlusion of the subclavian and innominate veins after renal transplantation: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
rationaleAmong the causes of swelling in the extremities of renal transplantation patients, secondary lymphedema caused by complete idiopathic obstruction of large veins is rare and may be difficult to diagnose and treat. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 64-year-old man presented with severe edema and pain that occurred suddenly in the right arm. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed as stage-2 secondary lymphedema caused by idiopathic occlusion of the subclavian and innominate veins.
interventionsLymphoscintigraphy and ascending venography of the right arm confirmed the diagnosis. Intensive complete decongestive therapy for lymphedema was performed. OUTCOMES: Following 2 weeks of active rehabilitation, the pain level and edema status were significantly improved. LESSONS: When idiopathic swelling of the extremities occurs in renal transplant patients, secondary lymphedema caused by venous occlusion may be the cause. When direct intervention for the venous occlusion proves to be difficult, a conservative approach may be helpful.
