Acute lower extremity arterial thrombosis after intraocular foreign body removal under general anesthesia: A case report and review of literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundSurgery, which is a major risk factor for venous thrombosis, has rarely been considered a risk factor for arterial thrombosis. Recent studies have suggested that venous and arterial thromboses share common risk factors and have a bidirectional relationship. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in the risk of arterial thrombosis after surgery. We report a case of acute bilateral lower extremity arterial thromboses that developed after a prolonged surgery. CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old man was hospitalized for intraocular foreign body removal surgery. He was a heavy-drinking smoker and had untreated hypertension and varicose veins in both legs. The operation was unexpectedly prolonged, lasting 4 h and 45 min. Immediately after emergence from general anesthesia, the patient complained of extreme pain in both legs. After the surgical drape was removed, cyanosis was evident in both feet of the patient. The pulse was not palpable, and continuous-wave Doppler signals were inaudible in the bilateral dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries. Computed tomography angiography confirmed acute bilateral thrombotic occlusion of the popliteal arteries, proximal anterior tibial arteries, and tibioperoneal trunks. Arterial pulse returned in both lower limbs after 6 h of heparin initiation. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 26 without any sequelae.
conclusionAcute lower extremity arterial thrombosis can occur after surgery. Anesthesiologists should pay particular attention to patients with risk factors for thrombosis.
