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
introductionTraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) tetraplegics are at an increased risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to immobility and altered hemostasis. Inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) face an elevated risk of thrombotic events due to chronic inflammation, in addition to the risk of diarrhea and bleeding. The case report underscores the potentially additive prothrombotic effects of ulcerative colitis and tetraplegia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old male with UC and traumatic R C3 L C4 sensory, R C3 L C5 motor ASIA impairment C tetraplegia, developed a below the knee DVT during inpatient rehabilitation, despite DVT prophylaxis. Due to potential risk of progression, interventions ultimately included serial ultrasound examinations, IVC filter, and anticoagulation. However, due to bleeding complications, anticoagulation was discontinued, followed by worsening of DVT to the bilateral lower extremities which advanced above the knees. Subsequently, the patient developed clostridium difficile infection, further exacerbating his ulcerative colitis. Bowel program was impacted, and treatment was provided for both clostridium difficile and ulcerative colitis. DISCUSSION: Both UC and traumatic SCI increase have risk of thrombosis. UC exacerbations and bleeding pose challenges in the treatment of DVT. The need to discontinue anticoagulation due to bleeding risk led to a significant progression of the DVT. SCI bowel program required careful adjustments in the setting of an UC exacerbation, likely triggered by clostridium difficile infection.
