Brachial Plexus Injury Secondary to Spontaneous Upper Limb Haematoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spontaneous upper limb muscle haematomas are rare clinical phenomenons, which often go under- or misdiagnosed. They can present management challenges in the context of anticoagulant therapy, especially in the presence of other medical conditions. We present the case of a 52-year-old male with an initially missed presentation of a spontaneous muscle haematoma that progressed and re-presented to the emergency department (ED) with signs of mixed upper limb neuropathy requiring surgical evacuation and an emergency fasciotomy. This case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. While brachial plexus injuries from haematoma compression are uncommon, in our case, we discuss the need for surgical intervention to relieve pressure and optimise patient outcomes when clinically concerned about compartment syndrome or progressive neuropathy.
