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 serious manifestation of venous thrombosis that has a high risk of morbidity and mortality. If not promptly treated on presentation, progressive extremity ischemia and potential gangrene can lead to emergency amputation of the affected limb. Most commonly, the lower extremities are affected, and reports of upper extremity phlegmasia are scarce. We report the successful treatment of phlegmasia cerulea dolens of the distal upper extremity using leech therapy combined with anticoagulation.
