A Case Report of Anti-phospholipid Syndrome With Lower Extremity Arterial Thrombosis That Didn't Respond to Heparin and Direct Oral Anticoagulation: Ultimately, the Patient Agreed to Oral Warfarin.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In the absence of known thrombophilia or factors associated with thrombotic tendency, clinicians are more likely to think of antiphospholipid syndrome in patients presenting with venous thrombosis than in those with arterial thrombosis. We present a case of acute lower extremity arterial ischemia in a female smoker. Despite multiple surgical interventions and treatment with several different anticoagulants, our patient developed bilateral lower extremity thrombi. Ultimately, after developing a pulmonary embolism, she accepted to be on warfarin. She switched to warfarin without recurrence of her arterial thrombosis. We describe the challenging management of her critical limb ischemia and review the pertinent literature on the controversy surrounding optimal anticoagulation in such patients.
