Secondary polycythaemia from chronic hypoxia is a risk for cerebral thrombosis: a case report.
Article in BMC neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundSecondary polycythemia is considered the usual complication of chronic hypoxia. It can theoretically increase the oxygen-carrying capacity, but this adaptive trait has a deleterious effect because the blood viscosity increases, which can induce significant morbidity and mortality, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old man with a history of a congenitally small main pulmonary artery presented to the emergency department with sustained unsteady walking, dizziness and vertigo. Evaluation revealed elevated hemoglobin and superior posterior circulation cerebral artery thrombosis. The patient was treated with high flux inhalation of oxygen and anti-platelet aggregation.
conclusionsThe involvement of cerebral vessels has rarely been reported in chronic hypoxia cases. The present case is the first case of superior posterior circulation cerebral artery thrombosis due to chronic hypoxia in a patient with a congenitally small main pulmonary artery. This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing some chronic diseases that can lead to hypoxia and secondary polycythemia thereby leading to hypercoagulable state and subsequent thrombosis.
