Superior vena caval obstruction: a rare presentation of Behcet's disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 25-year-old Indian man presented with low-grade fever followed by gradually increasing swelling of neck and face. Physical examination showed bilateral neck swelling, facial swelling and dilated veins in the upper chest. Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction due to an underlying malignancy was suspected. CT thorax showed large saccular aneurysm with thrombosis of bilateral subclavian arteries of which the right one caused external compression of right innominate vein draining into the SVC. A history of recurrent oral and scrotal ulcers was obtained following which skin pathergy test was done, which was suggestive of a diagnosis of Behcet's disease (BD). He responded to treatment with steroids and azathioprine. This report illustrates that rare nonmalignant cause such as BD could also present with SVC obstruction.
