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

Femoral vein is increasingly used for venous cannulation procedures. Its anomalies in the femoral triangle could complicate these procedures. We report an extremely rare type of femoral venous ladder observed during routine cadaveric dissections. The variation was found in the left lower limb of an adult male cadaver aged 70 years. The femoral vein was a single vein in initial 3 cm and terminal 4 cm of its course. The middle part of the vein showed a duplication and a complex ladder pattern and encircled the femoral artery in the femoral triangle. This anomaly could predispose the vein for deep vein thrombosis. Knowledge of this anomaly could be useful during radiological procedures, femoral hernia repair and femoral triangle abscess and lymph node clearance.
