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
This case report presents a 40-year-old transgender female with a history of gender-affirming hormone therapy who experienced recurrent, medication-resistant arterial thrombi leading to bilateral lower extremity amputations. Despite multiple endovascular and surgical interventions, including bypass grafting and catheter-directed thrombolysis, the patient developed recurrent thrombotic events even while on anticoagulation therapy. Hematologic evaluation for coagulopathy was unremarkable. The case underscores the need for greater understanding of gender-affirming hormone therapy's long-term cardiovascular effects while highlighting the challenges in managing arterial thrombosis in transgender patients. Further research is required to guide optimal anticoagulation strategies in this population.
