Acute thrombolysis in a patient with Type A aortic dissection and critical leg ischemia in an Arctic country.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A man in his early 50s presented at a remote hospital in Arctic Greenland with sudden severe chest and back pain, followed by critical ischemia in the right leg. Bedside ultrasound showed cessation of Doppler flow in the femoral artery, while ECG was normal. Aortic dissection was suspected, but lacking CT-scanner, MRI-scanner, or transesophageal ultrasound, the diagnosis could not be confirmed. The patient was treated symptomatically with thrombolysis for suspected femoral artery thrombosis. Overnight, the right leg regained color and pulses. The next day, weather circumstances allowed transfer to a secondary hospital, and CT-angiography showed a Type A aortic dissection extending from the aortic valve to both femoral arteries. Thrombolysis was stopped, and the patient was transferred and underwent surgery abroad at a specialized hospital. Despite 55-hour delay, the patient had a favorable outcome, returning to work 8 weeks post-surgery. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges in remote settings.
