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

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a rare entity that causes critical limb ischaemia, which may lead to amputation of the limb and may be life-threatening. Here, we describe a case of a healthy man in his 50s with multiple trauma who was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a central hospital for neuromonitoring following splenectomy for the stabilisation of a hypovolaemic shock. On admission to the ICU, the patient developed a swollen and white leg. The condition was caused by early compromised arterial flow secondary to extensive deep vein thrombosis.
