Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens: A Rare Vascular Emergency.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a rare condition characterized by near-complete to total occlusion of an extremity, leading to discoloration, cyanosis, and pain caused by venous thromboembolism (VTE). The inciting events leading to VTE formation can vary widely and may include factors such as trauma or malignancy. In many cases, the underlying thrombus can be managed with anticoagulation. However, surgical intervention is required in certain situations, such as this patient. Prompt action is essential regardless of the treatment modality, as the underlying disease process can significantly threaten the affected limb. This pathology is associated with a high rate of amputation and mortality. This case report discusses a 69-year-old female with a thrombus affecting the common iliac, external iliac, femoral, popliteal, and tibial veins, resulting in PCD. It emphasizes the importance of urgent intervention and treatment and the severe consequences of this disease process.
