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
A 78-year-old woman visited the emergency department with complaints of progressively worsening abdominal pain for a week. Nausea and vomiting started at the time of the visit. An abdominal contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) revealed a filling defect of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) which was diagnosed as portal vein and mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT). Intravenous administration of unfractionated heparin was initiated. However, her symptoms did not improve, and she underwent surgical thrombectomy on the second day of hospitalisation. On the sixth day, CECT revealed the recurrence of thrombi in the portal vein, SMV and along the central venous catheters. We switched heparin to argatroban on the eighth day. After administering argatroban, CECT revealed that the thrombi had almost disappeared by the 40th day. In this case, argatroban was considered effective for heparin-resistant and surgery-resistant portal vein and MVT.
