Pulmonary Embolism after Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Leg Muscle Hypertrophy.

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
Leg muscle hypertrophy is a unique physical symptom in East Asian women. Compared with traditional surgical treatment for calf muscle hypertrophy, botulinum toxin is widely favored by East Asian women because of its minimal trauma and significant effects. We describe the case of a 22-year-old woman with pulmonary embolism because of deep vein thrombosis, who presented with hypertrophy of bilateral calf muscles, and was administered 300 U of botulinum toxin A injection in July 2022. On the third day after the injection, she experienced swelling and pain in her left leg, which gradually worsened and made walking difficult. She underwent an ultrasound examination of lower limbs, which revealed several deep and shallow vein thrombi in the left lower limb. Computed tomography arterial imaging indicated multiple embolisms in pulmonary arteries. This study aimed to explore and analyze the causes of pulmonary embolism after botulinum toxin treatment for calf muscle hypertrophy by reviewing and analyzing the patient's symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment process to provide management strategies for treatment and prevention of this disease.
