Lung Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Multiple Thromboembolic Events: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Patients with malignancy may present with significant thromboembolic complications including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, arterial thrombosis, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis, and stroke due to abnormal coagulation cascades. Although these events are typically recognized later in the disease process, complications of a hypercoagulable state can rarely present as the first manifestation of an occult malignancy. We report a case of a young male who was ultimately found to have an aggressive form of lung adenocarcinoma after the initial presentation of multiple thromboembolic events. DVT and stroke as an initial presentation of an active lung adenocarcinoma in a young patient is extremely rare as patients presenting in a hypercoagulable state usually are older. Though testing for a hypercoagulable state is not recommended for the first unprovoked DVT, clinicians should be prompted to screen for malignancy in the setting of cryptogenic strokes, especially in younger patients with no prior risk factors.
