Isolated Radial Vein Thrombosis: Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Patient With COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In general, upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is less common than lower extremity DVT. Among upper extremity DVT cases, most of them are due to secondary causes like indwelling catheters, cancer, surgery, trauma or immobilization by plaster casts, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and estrogen. Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are known to have coagulation dysfunction and a high incidence of DVT, mostly in the lower extremities; however, upper extremity DVT has been rarely reported. We present a rare case of upper extremity DVT in COVID-19 infection. A 56-year-old male with no significant past medical history was admitted with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia. During hospitalization, he developed right upper extremity swelling, and an ultrasonogram showed right radial vein thrombosis. He was initially started on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and was discharged on apixaban. Patients with COVID-19 infection who develop DVT are recommended treatment with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) for three months.
