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

De novo thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Calcified thrombus of IVC is an extremely rare incidental finding and is associated with recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). We present a case of abdominal pain secondary to a calcified thrombus in the supra-hepatic region of the IVC.
