Treating a limb-threatening arterial clot in a newborn with catheter-directed thrombolysis.

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
Non-catheter related arterial thromboembolism in the neonatal population is rare and carries a significant risk of organ damage or limb loss. Thrombolysis, whether systemic or catheter- directed, is reserved either for limb or life-threatening thrombosis due to risk of bleeding especially in premature neonates. In this case, an infant male born at 34 weeks and 4 days gestational age presented with limb-threatening clot in the distal right subclavian artery and proximal right axillary artery with no known cause. After discussion of risks and benefits of various treatment options, he received thrombolysis treatment with low dose recombinant TPA via an umbilical artery catheter. There was complete resolution of the thrombus with this treatment and the patient had no significant bleeding while receiving treatment. Further investigation is needed to identify the patient population that will benefit from catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy and how to best monitor these patients.
