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

Thromboangitis obliterans or Buerger's disease is a segmental inflammatory condition of small and medium-sized arteries and veins. It is commonly seen in males with age under 45 years and with a current or recent history of tobacco use, and in smokers. It is sporadic in young women. This report describes a primigravida with dry gangrene in both upper and lower limbs because of Buerger's disease. The primary diagnosis of the disease occurred first time in pregnancy at the 17th week of gestation with the patient reporting dry gangrene and pain in the digits and confirmed with a non-invasive Doppler study. The patient was screened for autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, and the presence of hypercoagulable disorders. Echocardiography and arteriography were performed to rule out any source of emboli. The case report aims to discuss a rare diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in the case of a pregnant woman presenting with gangrene without any history of tobacco addiction.
