Fondaparinux-Associated Rectus Sheath Hematoma: Skating on Thin Ice.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH), an exceptionally rare clinical entity, results from the rupture of epigastric arteries or tear of the rectus abdominis muscle itself. Spontaneous RSH represents a potentially life-threatening bleeding complication in anticoagulated patients with distinct characteristics. The non-specific nature of RSH clinical manifestations renders RSH a kaleidoscopic disease that may be misdiagnosed. The widespread use of anticoagulants for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis or therapy is among the most commonly documented risk factors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a fondaparinux-associated giant RSH in a 58-year-old Caucasian man who presented with severe pain at the right abdominal quadrant accompanied with a large ecchymosis secondary to violent cough due to a respiratory infection. The aim of our study is to broaden current knowledge regarding the predisposing factors, the pathophysiological mechanisms, and the management of this bleeding disorder.
