Superior Vena Cava Syndrome Due to Right Anterior Mediastinal Hematoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) has been frequently reported to be secondary to malignancy, specifically, small cell bronchogenic carcinoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There is some data suggesting causes like postprocedural hematomas. We aim to describe a case of a patient who developed SVCS secondary to a mediastinal hematoma secondary to epicardial pacer leads (postprocedural). Our case is about a 75-year-old male with a past medical history of coronary artery disease and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with moderate-to-severe right axillary pain radiating to the ipsilateral side of the neck, arm, and chest, associated to right temporal headache. A computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the chest was indicated at the time and revealed a hematoma with an active extravasation within the right superior anterior mediastinum, outside the pericardium. The patient was admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) and was started on nicardipine as his blood pressure in the ED was 217/125 and remained elevated despite proper pain management. A repeat CT scan of the chest showed a regressing hematoma that coincided with an improvement of the symptoms. This case highlights the importance of the complications of anterior mediastinal hematoma. The superior vena cava syndrome can develop after cardiologic procedures, after the implantation of devices. Prompt clinical diagnosis, including imaging, and treatment are necessary to manage this condition.
