Upper-Extremity Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens With Compartment Syndrome in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Sepsis.
Article in The Journal of hand surgery, 2022. 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
A 54-year-old woman with leukemia presented with coronavirus disease 2019 and a right upper-extremity indwelling peripherally inserted central catheter line for chemotherapy administration. On hospital admission day 9, she developed acute right upper-extremity edema and pain. Ultrasound demonstrated complete superficial and deep venous thrombosis up to the proximal subclavian vein. Her examination result was consistent with acute phlegmasia cerulea dolens and compartment syndrome, but respiratory instability prevented transfer and vascular surgery intervention. Instead, we performed bedside fasciotomies and administered therapeutic heparin, and the limb was salvaged. This case underscores the potential for successful limb salvage in patients with phlegmasia in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 via compartment release and therapeutic anticoagulation.
