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

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) results from the partial or complete obstruction of blood flow through the superior vena cava (SVC), which comprises a broad clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to rare life-threatening emergencies with upper airway obstruction and increased intracranial pressure. Iatrogenic SVCS is not uncommon given the increasing utilization of intravascular devices in the past decades, suggesting that wider knowledge of the indications for semipermanent venous access and consistent monitoring are warranted in our clinical practice in order to avoid unfavorable outcomes. Here, we present a case of SVCS with respiratory distress due to extensive thromboembolism associated with a chronic indwelling intravenous (IV) catheter.
