Pathophysiology of an adolescent with compartment syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAcute compartment syndrome occurs because of increased pressure within the fascial compartment, resulting in tissue ischemia. This surgical emergency, usually resulting from severe injury, is characterized by rapidly developing pain and swelling of the extremities. This case report aims to raise awareness among physicians by emphasizing the importance of high clinical sense in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes a 25-year-old Saudi male who presented to the emergency department with a 1-week history of left leg pain. The pain suddenly worsened to severe anterior leg pain and swelling after he rapidly climbed multiple stairs. Acute compartment syndrome in the anterior compartment with rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed. Urgent fasciotomy was performed and the patient recovered gradually.
conclusionThis report presents an exceptional case of acute myonecrosis in a patient with non-sickle cell disease, involving acute compartment syndrome in the anterior compartment, and rhabdomyolysis, which led to compartment syndrome.
