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

Pacemakers are implanted as part of the treatment process of conditions including symptomatic bradycardia and certain types of heart block. One complication associated with pacemaker implantation is upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT), which can subsequently lead to pulmonary embolism, limb loss, or death. We present the case of an 88-year-old male who developed UEDVT in his left subclavian, axillary, brachial, and basilic veins shortly after dual chamber pacemaker implantation for treating symptomatic heart block. The patient received anticoagulation with intravenous heparin while inpatient but was switched to oral apixaban prior to discharge. This case highlights the importance of detecting and treating UEDVT in patients who recently underwent pacemaker placement.
