Polycythemia vera as a rare cause of hypertension in a young man.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. 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
Polycythemia vera (PV) is an orphan haematological disease and one of the most common myeloproliferative diseases, with the incidence rate of about 0.4-2.8 cases per 100 000 population per year. In patients, proliferation of all three haematopoietic lineages is observed, typically with the development of erythrocytosis. As a rule, PV occurs in patients aged 60-70 years, slightly more often in men. The main clinical signs of PV are weakness, significant burning sensation in fingers and palms due to the increased blood viscosity and microcirculation disorders, discomfort in the left hypochondrium due to splenomegaly at the background of extramedullary haematopoietic sites development, as well as gross vascular complications (thrombosis) of various localisation. Our clinical case represents a rare cardiac manifestation of the PV in a young man.
