A Rare Case of Thromboangiitis Obliterans of Bilateral Upper Extremities in an Adult Male.

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
Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) also known as Buerger's disease is a nonatherosclerotic vasculitis that is more common in adult male smokers. TAO predominantly affects lower extremities, however, cases with bilateral upper extremities involvement are a rare entity and difficult to manage. Symptoms of the disease mostly mimic that of acute ischemia of the limb. Diagnosis is mostly made clinically, however, radiographic vascular evaluation can strengthen the diagnosis. Herein we present a case of a 41-years-old male with a history of chronic smoking whose signs and symptoms were suggestive of TAO in bilateral upper extremities, however, the patient did not respond to smoking cessation and pharmacotherapy for a long time owing to which he underwent amputation after taking proper informed consent.
