Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome by a commonly overlooked anomaly, the cervical rib: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a constellation of symptoms that occur due to the compression of neurovascular structures traversing the thoracic outlet. TOS manifests in 3 distinct forms: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. Among these, arterial TOS is the rarest. A 32-year-old man presenting with severe right arm pain was referred for CT angiography. The imaging revealed bilateral cervical ribs, with the right side showing more pronounced development and fusion with the first thoracic rib. At the fusion site of the right cervical rib and the first thoracic rib, a pseudoaneurysm of the right subclavian artery was detected. Additionally, there was evidence of acute thromboembolism in the right brachial artery at the mid-humerus. Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare form of TOS that can have detrimental consequences due to associated complications. Cross-sectional imaging, such as CT scans and MRI, is the preferred method for diagnosing TOS and identifying its specific form. Physicians are expected to be familiar with the various forms of TOS, the lesions mimicking TOS, and the imaging tools utilized for diagnosis.
