Hereditary Angioedema in Pregnancy Complicated by Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis: 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
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder that causes episodes of angioedema due to a mutation in the C1 esterase inhibitor gene (C1-INH). Complications of HAE include intestinal obstruction, asphyxiation, and venous thromboembolism (VTE). In this case, we report a 34-year-old G4P2011 female with HAE at 24 weeks gestation presenting with acute right upper extremity pain and swelling following a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line for HAE treatment infusion, revealing a right upper extremity VTE. Early treatment with Lovenox, PICC line removal, and continuation of HAE therapy via peripheral IV infusion resolved and prevented further angioedema and subsequent VTEs during this patient's pregnancy. This case serves as an example of effective management of HAE complications during pregnancy and supports peripheral IV line usage over PICC lines for medication infusions in pregnant patients with HAE. The overall purpose of this case report is to improve safety outcomes for pregnant patients with HAE by mitigating the risks of PICC line usage and to highlight the significance of VTE inclusion within the differential diagnosis in this population.
