External iliac artery thrombosis: an unusual complication of femoral venous catheterisation in a neonate.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a neonate who developed external iliac artery thrombosis after insertion of femoral venous catheter, without an apparent arterial puncture during the procedure. The baby developed acute limb ischaemia. As there was no improvement despite heparin infusion for 24 hours, thrombectomy was done. Following surgery, the limb perfusion improved gradually in 1 week. However, pulses did not reappear even after antithrombotic therapy for 3 months. There was residual Doppler abnormality in the form of severe narrowing at the origin of superficial femoral artery with reduced flow velocity in superficial femoral, popliteal and tibial arteries. The baby was kept under regular follow-up, with a plan for clinical assessment and Doppler every 6 months and to perform a vascular reconstructive surgery if he develops any clinical feature of chronic limb ischaemia. The baby is now 1 year of age. He is walking normally and there is no limb length discrepancy.
