Portal Vein Thrombosis in a Patient With Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Mutation and Normal Homocysteine Levels.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 21-year-old male presented with chief complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and was found to have portal vein thrombosis (PVT) on computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen, which was redemonstrated on ultrasound. Thrombophilia workup was negative except that patient was heterozygous for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation. Homocysteine levels were normal. The patient was started on enoxaparin and discharged on apixaban with the plan to continue anticoagulation for at least six months. Follow-up MRI after four months showed interval improvement of the main portal vein thrombus with the use of Eliquis.
