Hughes Stovin Syndrome, a Rare Form of Behcet's Disease Presenting as Recurrent Intracardiac Thrombus.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Hughes Stovin syndrome (HSS) is a particularly rare disease characterized by multiple pulmonary artery and/or bronchial artery aneurysms with concomitant peripheral venous thrombosis and is believed to be a cardiovascular variant of Behcet's disease. Intracardiac thrombus occurring as a thrombotic manifestation of HSS is an unusual presentation and represents a challenge in diagnosis and treatment. Here we report a 25-year-old male presenting with recurrent right-sided intracardiac thrombi, in whom pulmonary artery aneurysm was later detected in the clinical course corroborating the diagnosis of HSS and leading to appropriate initiation of immunosuppressive agents. The patient required multiple cardiac surgeries during the clinical course for cardiovascular complications associated with recurrent cardiac thrombus. Unfortunately, the patient was readmitted a year later for massive hemoptysis secondary to pulmonary arterial aneurysm rupture requiring left lower lobectomy. Our case highlights also the significant morbidity, complications, and treatment challenges associated with this potentially life-threatening syndrome, which is intensified in the presence of cardiac involvement.
