Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Setting of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thromboembolism that usually involves a clot formation in the deep veins of the lower extremities. Its formation is linked to Virchow's Triad which factors in venous stasis, endothelial damage, and hypercoagulability. Venous stasis is the primary factor contributing to the development of DVT and it refers to varicosity, external pressure placed on the extremity, or immobilization due to bed rest or long flights. Clinical presentation of DVT depends on the extent and location of the thrombus with common signs including localized swelling, pain, warmth, and edema. The Wells criteria are typically applied to assess the likelihood of thrombus formation alongside D-dimer assay, ultrasound, or CT imaging. As previously mentioned, these mostly occur in the lower extremities. However, upper extremity DVT has been noted and has been linked to inherited issues with coagulation and autoimmune disorders. This report will discuss a case of left-arm DVT in a patient who underwent bilateral mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy for a diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ in the left breast.
