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

Background: Axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis (ASVT) is a type of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT). UEDVTs are classified as either primary or secondary depending on their etiology. Although uncommon, clinicians should be aware of the clinical presentation of UEDVT as timely diagnosis and early treatment is critical in preventing possible post-thrombotic complications. Case presentation: We report a rare case of axillary-subclavian and internal jugular vein thrombosis in the absence of clear risk factors in a 78-year-old male weightlifter who presented to the office with two-week duration of left upper extremity pain and swelling following strenuous exercise at the gym. Summary: The combination of unusual thrombi location, in addition to the unusual absence of existing thoracic-outlet compression or indwelling medical hardware, makes our case of UEDVT especially uncommon. Clinicians should be aware of this rare disease due to the debilitating effects both in the short and long term.
