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

backgroundLumbar back pain in an adolescent is generally musculoskeletal, that is, due to a muscle strain or scoliosis. This case describes a young individual without any previous health issues who rapidly developed a life-threatening condition, though initially presenting with "only" back pain. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old Caucasian male patient was admitted twice to the emergency department with debilitating lumbar pain without neurological or vascular symptoms. Imagery showed an extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. No external cause, structural abnormality, or any systemic disease were found that predisposed the patient to this highly unusual vaso-occlusive incident.

conclusionThrombosis of the inferior vena cava is a rare but life-threatening entity. It is underrecognized and associated with serious short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Increased awareness is essential because deep vein thrombosis in children seems to cause atypical symptoms, such as spinal pain or the absence of edema of the lower limbs, as in the present case.
