1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with recurrent subdural hematoma (SDH) is challenging. It becomes even more challenging when the patient develops phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD). We present a 66-year-old female with a recent history of recurrent SDH who received half-dose heparin therapy for VTE and PCD. The patient had improvement of dyspnea and resolution of PCD after two days of treatment. She was discharged with half-dose enoxaparin. At her one-month follow-up, there was no evidence of new SDH or progression of VTE. Half-dose anticoagulation therapy should be considered in patients with recurrent SDH when anticoagulation is inevitable.
