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

Neuropathic pain is a frequent complaint in the neurology clinic. We present a case of a 31-year-old male with congenital absence of the inferior vena cava (AIVC) resulting in venous hypertension who complained of lower extremity pain interfering with his daily activities. His AIVC was thought to be incidental rather than causative of his pain complaints. His examination was consistent with peripheral neuropathy. Simple lifestyle adaptations, such as restriction of physical activity and leg elevation, were sufficient to relieve his symptoms. Recognition of the role of AIVC may have prevented additional invasive procedures in our patient.
